I found another place that will install the gears for $625.00. That price only includes the gears and install. It will be more if I need new bearings. Why is the labor to install so frickin' expensive in Orlando? We are talking like $400-$500 for labor to install gears.

I found a local shop here in Daytona that will install them for $225.00 but he does not carry any parts. What if he replaces the gears and finds out I need new bearings than that means my car will have to sit there until I order new bearings. Plus, I do not know how reputable this guy is. Man I'm screwed! What do I do?

I am also finding out that many of these performance shops will not install gears unless you order the gears from them. They claim liability issues. I didn't think having gears installed would cost so much and be such a headache.
