Default Gears = $550.00?!?

Called a local shop today that i've delt with in the past that does good work to see how much it would cost for them to put in gears. They said $550.00 Even if I provided the gears and pinion and the master bearing kit. Wtf? That's A LOT of money for gears isn't it? Btw, does the master bearing kit come with shims?

I was quoted around $300 from a local mechanic shop. I supplied the gears and install kit.

Everyone thinks it is a cheap mod until they find out what the cost is to get them put in.

I bout my Motive 4.10's for $160 and paid $165 for installation. It was $150 for labor and $15 for the Royal purple gear lube. My car only had 45K miles so I didn't need a bearing kit. It was installed 2 days ago and has absolutely NO gear whine.
