[awdsm90]

just looking for some answer;s to an easy question...
how much should it cost for a throwout bearing and a set of rings... just need rings and throwout bearing... mopar its 29bucks which is cheap and then trans shops are asking 500bucks for just install. and rings at a local respected shop wants me to pay 3500 to just put on new rings... thats more then a rebuild whats up?WTF

Both places are trying to screw you...thats whats up.

8hr TOPS for the re-ring.

5hrs TOPS for the tob

I can understand the TOB because you have to crack the cases, It is a bit on the expensive side though. Its basically the same price as a clutch install. Thats why I'm my own mechanic...
The reringing quote is astronomical... They probably didn't really need the business all that bad and/or didn't wanna do it. When I dont wanna sell a part I jack the price up. You know how it goes.

parts- nothing

labor- alot.

Like 1gcrazy said its alot cheaper to be your own mechanic. If you dont mind the labor doing the job yourself will be a great learning experience as well as save you money. Most people that know how to work on cars learned by neccessity not the want to do the work.

i dont have a problem being my own mechanic, just i dont want to drop my trans... my 91 laser was a bi**h to do a replace. i have the parts as i told the shops and thats the prices i got. plus i dont have a sleeve for the piston's probably can get ahold of one.. on this note what would be better i know .20 over is cool an all but in the end should i go .20 over or stay stock?
