$2000 labor to drop the old tranny and bolt in a reman :shock: ? That can't be right, maybe $200? You could also consider a used ($2000 ?) or find a decent mechanic to rebuild the old one...
good point, i didn't even notice the 25 HRS on that quote! at the ih dealer the tranny guys were; pulling, rebuilding, and installing 13 spds in 16 hours. cursed volvo probably has engine mounts on trans bell housing, add an hour maybe two, put new mounts if they're worn.
the clutch would only add 15 mins to the job once the tranny's out.
the output yoke is zero labour, as a matter of a fact, it has saved some time as opposed to trying to get the old one off of the tailshaft.
the front u-joint is 1/2 out already...
why are we replacing yokes?; splines, or loose cup bores? not a whole lot can go wrong with a yoke.
with all of that, shouldn't they have recommended a new cross-shaft and release fork?
they not gonna have to worry about losing time on that job ;0)
