Default Labor cost on T/C install?

How much did you pay for labor on a torque converter install?
I'm trying to get some numbers so I don't get taken for a ride when I have mine done.
Thanx.

Talked to Nate at Xtreme and he says they install TC for free if they do the gear change. Very reasonable prices! :yesnod:
