Bump to possibly get my question answered, since otherwise it's likely to get lost in the Troll Chow.

The prices are at the bottom of the page.
$895 = Upgrade
$519-$595 = Retrofit
If its labor your talking about, then the Retrofit should cost you an additional 2-3 hours on top of a clutch job. Depending on what the hourly rate is in your area I would say maybe an additional $200-$300. If it is a double row bearing, it may take a bit longer because they can be harder to remove. The Upgrade requires the engine be completely disassembled so I don't really know a dollar amount. You probably do not want to go that route unless you have another reason to disassemble the engine.

Thanks, but I'm trying to ask Jake what HIS flat rate is for the upgrade (if he has one).

I think he has answered this question numerous times:
"For the procedure to be carried out at our facility the charges total 3,500.00 as a flat rate, no matter how simple or difficult your particular extraction may be for 6 speed cars. Tiptronic cars vary rate wise."
And don't you think you should use his BUSINESS site to ask him this question?
Why has this forum turned into another business site for flat6 innovations?
|
The flat rate quoted above is for the IMS RETROFIT. I'm asking if Jake has a flat fee for the IMS UPGRADE. Two entirely different products, two entirely different installation procedures.
And no, I don't think I should use his BUSINESS site to ask him this question. I'm specifically asking it here because I'm relatively certain that I'm not the only one here who wants to know.
If you're not interested, you're free to leave at any time. (Or at least stop posting in this thread.  )

No, it was my error. I wasn't clear in my original post. Sorry for the confusion.
