The Torque converter price sounds about right... My buddy has his done for 325...

I had gears put in for around 325 or so..... But I didnt have the bearings so with parts it ended up caosting my around 500... But I didnt know that those bearings were only like 45$ they told me it cost them 200 so.......

at 1st i wanted someone to install my eaton. but i did alot of research on how to install it. i saved alot of money doing it myself.

as for my yank, a friend of a friend has his own tranny shop so i got it done pretty cheap.

TQ prices are good, posi install is WAAAAY out of line unless it included the price of the eaton unit itself. Even then you could do better...

The rear sounds high. You figure $600 for parts if you get a deal, then about $3-400 labor. When I do them it is usually right about $900-1000.

It depnends where you are located. Labor for just a carrier change is 75 around here. Gear changes are $125-200.
