Signatus230 · 06-26-2007, 07:18 PM

They have to pull the engine completely out? I am guessing Volvo's are a tad bit harder then Subaru's, lol.

No, they charge by the book since the mechanics get a paid by book hours regardless if they finish the job in 3 days or 3 hours. I'm geussing this was only a 6 hour job since my uncle has removed 2 engines and installed 1 of them back into the other car in a day, in a volvo.

I am just guessing here, but i am pretty sure what s60r posted (10.7 or whatever) is the book time.

Also, is anyone else surprised this didn't happen 6.5 months ago?!

Turbo s60R · 06-26-2007, 08:45 PM

its a tranny out job.... and **** you eric last time it was the trans not the clutch ahahhahahah

cburwell · 06-26-2007, 08:48 PM

That's steep. I paid around the same amount to have the input bearing on my transmission replaced, and that involved taking apart the transmission.

99SL2_Modder · 06-26-2007, 08:50 PM

Extremely steep.

Turbo s60R · 06-26-2007, 08:54 PM

it hurts but ill get over

Vypurr · 06-26-2007, 09:11 PM

I am looking at the book right now and here's what it says for that job.

Looks like 8 hours to me...

zerioustt · 06-26-2007, 09:14 PM

HKS83 · 06-26-2007, 09:32 PM

italianblaze · 06-26-2007, 10:02 PM
