I think the price was way too high, $450-500 as memory serves me. They did do a good job and I have had no problems.

Give Northstar Automotive Tech in Mt. View a call @650-969-3134. Dave is the owner. They do great work there and they are the only one's that work on my cars.

Give Ted May from Valaya Automotive a call at 408-448-8811. I asked him and he noted to me that the install is fairly easy. He told me ~3 hours plus the cost of replacing any transmission fluid...take care.
Went there yesterday, he had 9 Vipers, 1 Prowler, and 1 Porsche. He can handle it...trust me. He is an honest mechanic...he wants all his people to watch him while he is working on your car. So plan I being there if it is possible.
Let us know how it goes.
