I've asked around for a quote to have a torque converter installed in my SC4. They say it's going to be around 500-600 Euros, which is pretty much the same amount in USD. Does that sound right or more like a ripoff?
Thanks

If you are talking about replacing the stock OEM torque converter then I don't have any ideas.
However, the upgraded torque converter that most speed shops are selling runs $900-1100 USD

I'm having mine installed for ~420$ ... when I get all the cash together for the unit + install. The dealership told me around 550$, another shop quoted me at around 450$ (US). How many hours are they quoting for the work?

They're not quoting hours ... just the price.
I'm surprised though that this is not SOO much different than what you guys get. I was expecting to pay a lot more here in my area ...
Thanks for all the replies.

Hermosa,
Yeah, the SC is VERY rare here. Don't have any numbers, but I've only seen 2 others so far. Even better, my car is completely debadged, so nobody knows what they're looking at.
Obviously, the bad thing about it is, I can't find any knowledgeable mechanics to work on my car. That's why I'm surprised I got a quote for the TC install which isn't too bad, especially considering the fact that labour is usually a lot more expensive here than anywhere else ...
Oh, and btw ... I'd rather retire in the USA. But unfortunately I don't have that choice
