Not taking into consideration any parts. How much would be a fair cost for labor to do a full A4 to M6 conversion?

I am trying to decide whether to build my 4l60e for the 550 RWHP it is putting down or to convert to a 6-speed with a solid clutch. But if I go 6-speed, I will probably not want to do the labor myself - so how much do you guys think the labor cost for this would be?....

 

labor= rediculous.. if you can install an auto trans then you can do the swap.. its a pretty easy project.. not too mention rewarding if you want a manual.. cant beat getting in for the first time too row the gears haha

 

Wrong forum.... LT1/LT4 Engine Tech is not the place for tranny questions.

Moving......

 

Cost me about $2300 total. $1500 for a t56, $600 for spec 3 and fizanda flywheel and $200 for conversion parts. Im sure there are odds and ends im fogetting about tho.

 

Agreed!

My 4L60E blew in July of this past year ('06 ... holy crap, it's '07 now?!! ) ... anyway, by the time I tracked down a tranny w/parts, I had it in my garage on a Friday, and by the Sunday night, the car was mobile . Before it arrived, I had the auto pulled, and everything associated with it (shifter, pedals, flywheel, etc.). Using a couple of the independent online "guides", I already had the hole cut in the floor for the shifter, so when the tranny showed up, I just had to install the pedals, and then start bolting things up ...

... I am NOT a mechanic by any means (only learned what I could from my Dad who IS a mechanic) but aside from having a friend of mine provide physical "assistance" (slugging out/in the 2 transmissions) I did all the technical work myself . I think I put about ~24 hrs work into it, and I work slow. I've read where guys have everything done in about ~12 hrs!!

But there ya go, if you want to factor what labor would "cost", count on at least ~12 hrs, maybe more, depending on the skill of whomever is doing the work .
