I just looked a bit. first price came up for new unit was $5,300.
And no there isn't 5000+ labour involved - this is a longitudinal mounted design.
Likely 5 hours. R&R. for someone who did one once before.
Dealer are absolute thieves these days. Quoted wife 600 for front brakes on the subaru.
I pulled trans on the big v8 beasts in well under and hour back in the 70's.
Other mechs would laugh if you were slower than that.
Only 3 lifts .. couldn't waste time BC time was money with work backed up in the yard..
I recall having todo heads on a 440 station wagon in the parking lot when we were out of lift space.
PITA but it was early Fall so nice weather
