Default C7 A8 torque converter replacement cost

I’m planning on buying a Circle D 3800-4000 stall converter this summer. What are shops around your area charging for the install ?

Anyone in Florida have one installed ?

Don't know the charges, but I'd call Redline for a quote. If the price is right, they are in Pompano beach, easy drive for you.

Thanks ... Redline have been working on my car over the past few years. They will be installing the converter. I just have not received a quote yet. Just curious as to what others have paid

Okay, so you're already using probably the best speed shop in South Florida. Even if they are a little more than some, at least you know it will be done right 😊

Where are you getting the converter from? Also hit us up direct when you ready and we can get you a number..Its typically a 4-5 hour job soup to nuts..

I remember back in the day with my nitrous C5 (had 13 C5’S &#128513 I went through 3 converters ... 20 years ago got prices from $350.00-$1,100

Howard the owner of Redline sent me a package deal price earlier today. Going to set up the install day soon

I’m in Arkansas, I’ve got a quote from a local shop and one from a well known shop in Texas. Might be worth noting my car is 6sp not the 8sp.
