Default Throw me a bone here

Well I called some more places to get my T-Lok and short shifter installed today. I asked for a quote on labor and one place said it would be less than $500, but how less I was wondering. They also told me if I was changing the gears it would cost me $800(together)! Is it just me or were they just trying to rip me off?

Yea, got the tlock from ebay, got the rest from mustangtuning.com. Keep in mind some shops wont have you get the bearing kit, cause they keep that instock.

Petepete, please tell me the price included the gears, t-lock and install! If not, I hate to say it but you should have shopped around.
