IMS Bearing Retrofit Labor time
I was quoted additional 4 hours of labor for tiptronic. Originally quoted 8 hours of labor but now 12 hours at $120 per hour.
A local dealer quoted 16 hours of labor at $129 per hour.
What say you guys?
Thanks,

And that doesn't include the bearing. You should just take all the money for the labor and the bearing and buy an extended warranty that will cover the whole car for the next few years.....

Local shop is quoting me 12 hours for IMS bearing retrofit. Originally I was quoted 8 hours because I guess he didn't know I had a tiptronic. Yes, it's a C2.
16 hours is a quote I received from a dealer for IMS bearing retrofit.

Drifting
I can drop my engine and trans in my driveway in 4-5 hours. If I had a lift and trans jack it should only be 3+ hours to take out a trans, another 3+ to put it back in. then an hour or two to remove the flywheel and the bearing, and replace them.
The challenge is that most dealer and shops use book time, and a good mechanic can usually do a job in 80% or less than book time. It is one of the ways they make money.
