most shops charge on labour rates..
dealership labour rates are around$90per hour
normal mechanical shops around $60-$80 per hour
so on that quote, they are saying a workshop with a car lift and all the tools required will take 6 hours minimum to do the gearbox? thats stretching the truth a touch i reckon... ive dont it in the dirt with a single hydraulic jack a big block of wood and bricks shorter then that...
i dont disagree. as i said. its a quote.

start looking for a replacement box. get the word out and sort that part, so at least youre ready for if it does fail. the hands can be sorted, quick enough.

lol @ Herbie

um, i'm not holding it or strapping it in at this point.
there is no logic to when it pops out, it happens every now and then, (maybe a few times a day)
i just keep an eye on it and put it back in if it pops out....

ahhhh ok, well some people tie a strap (ie to your seat base) to slip over the gearstick when in 4th so it doesnt pop... but puttin it on and off can be annoying too....
