I am having similar work done, how many hours did this take?

SixBanger · 06-01-2014, 10:13 PM

They're taking good care of me. I'm going to leave it at that.

Haha. As does my 2nd gear. It's worth investing in depending on labor.

However,
I dropped off the vehicle on Tuesday, and Wednesday work was started. Today I walked into this:
They ran into some issues with getting the front ones off and couldn't find the tool to install the front bushings. They wont be done til Tuesday. I can't complain because they've been really good to me in the past and plus I've been given a loaner. They've never done this type of job before and I completely understand. Plus, I've had M control arms installed, tranny mounts installed, and tranny rebuild kit from ECS.

Let us know how you like the rebuild kit and the labor it entails.

You'll love the tranny mounts!

Interesting to note the trouble on the front bushings.

My shop had a hard trouble pulling the front bushings in they actually tore one and had to replace it.
