Jesse Rodriguez in Fort Worth did the r&r for me a few years ago (Issue 67) but it wasn't that cheap.

Figured that was at least 60. 00 an hour, Guess no takers, Monte

It generally takes a business to have a lift, trans jack, air tools, etc. and their overhead won't let them work that cheap and also do a good job. I have seen too many cases where the shop cut corners to speed up the process and the clutch had issues.

Ok, Thanks, guess i'll have to tackle it myself, Monte

Found a shop here in town that will do it for 330. 00 , says 5 1/2 hrs. at 60. 00 hr. , Now that's reasonable, not trying to rip you off like some . , Dodge house wanted 90. 00 hr. i have over 124,000 on it now

not trying to rip you off like some . ,

Only if there is deception by one or both parties. If the shop gives you an up front quote and you agree, that is not a rip off.

There you go,That's why i wouldn't agree to 90. 00 an hr.

Have the trans inspected before you have it installed or your going to think they did something wrong, ITS GOING TO MAKE NOISE.

A gallon of Delvac 50 and three qts of 5-30 synthetic syncromesh,kills 85% of the noise aside from poking through parking lots. Stretch those shifts out too.

In my shop waiting for the new clutch to be put in, i bought all this stuff last year in anticipation of changing everything at the same time, I bought 2 gal. of Delvac 50 wt. , then i read all the posts on here and then bought the 3 qts. of 5-30 syncromesh synthetic oil, Thanks for the heads up, Monte

Got it out today and the transmission sounds the same as it did with the dual mass, No noise, clutch is a lot stiffer and engages quicker, but it is there and holds the power planted to it, i"m pleased,Monte
