[V8] Transmission Service

[kyle leatherwood]

Eddie,

They have to remove the exhaust crossover pipe.  Job pays 3.5 hours at an 
average of 80.00 an hour, that's 280.00 just in labor. Looks like you are 
coming out pretty good.  I wouldn't do it for much less, especially since 
the bolts are almost always siezed up and sometimes they wont just wring 
off, so then it's torch time!

hope this answers your question.

Kyle
