What kind of install warranty? It does seem a little high for labor.

ask him how much of that is labor and how much is parts... the parts should not be more than 150 to buy, install hardware + oil and everything you need can be bought at 50resto for a little over 200.. so see how much is labor and we'll know if its a ripoff


errr I mean get a price breakdown

he said that if i brought him the gears and an install kit it would take off 200 cause he doesnt like to install other peoples parts and it doesnt come with a speedo recal. anyone know any place around cocoa beach, Flarea that will do it?

So he'd still charging you $400 for labor?? Ugh [:'(]Overpriced. Find another place.

with a speedo recal 500 would be on the higher end range of what I would pay... keep looking around, maybe check a place out thats a little farther away, so you can do a little breaking in of the gears on your way home.
