Labor varies widely by location and shop. Mine were $550 out the door (4.10s, labor, fluids)

tennantgt, find alocal mustang clubor performance car club. Ask them were to get gears done. I done this and there is z highly recommended shop 10mins from my house that I didn’t even knew existed. The quote I got was FMS gear, fluids and labor $440 + tax. The only thing I’m worried about is I’ve never hear of FMS gears.

it's going to be like $850 for mine at the dealership..parts I have to get on my own lol.

this other place was trying to charge me $1500 just for the torque converter/gears combo..
what a jip!~[:'(]

I would have to say it would be a bad *** combo to have though,that and an intake/tuner kit...
