that really depends on tools in the garage.jonowong wrote:hey max i was wondering how much it cost in total
I had no tool set before starting this job.
Had to buy full socket set 1/2" with ratchet bar, extension, etc..., $150
Also need longer socket bar $50, some of the bolts are really tight, especially driveshaft and hub bolts. Dont go cheap with tools. Kincrome or Sidcrome, nothing less, otherwise they keep breaking.
Also need torque wrench, again Kincrome, $100
Drill head and adaptor, $100
Deep 17 socket, $15
Oils inc transmission and break fluid for clutch, $200
Exedy Clutch kit, $290, but again this was a special deal, normally around $500
I broke one of the 4 bolts that secures the gear stick. For removal, reverse drill bits, $20
Hire g/box $40
Clutch allignment tool $35
Bottle jack $30
Garage jack $40
Axle stands x 2 $40
Add another $200 for waste
Conversion set I scored inc everything was under $500, but this was once off deal I guess. I had to remove the g/box myself also.
Did I forgot anything?
All up $1800 I think, and I have auto box and other bits to sell. Not too bad hey.
I have asked for few quotes to do this work. It was all same around $3k, labour only, not inc oils or any missing/not working parts.
If you have the correct tools it will be very cheap.
