Default How much for a gear and tc install?

I'm getting some different gears for the truck, and already have a torque converter. What would be a good price to get these things installed?

a good price for a gear install is about 600, subtract the cost you piaid for your gears and add 50$ cuz you didnt buy from them thats probably the labor, and i paid 195 to have my TC installed so i would say probably about 600$ total maybe?

I paid $465 to have my gears installed. I got a couple of bids and some shops wanted up to 800 bucks for an install. I had the option of getting them installed by a mechanic on the side for $250 but it is much better to have a warranty on the work performed.
