$430 for a hose?





Labor. The mechanic told me he had to remove the engine cradle to get to it. And it was the 200 dollar part. There's a couple of 20-40 dollar hoses in the system as well, but I'm not sure how much the pump costs. I think the water pump was around 200, altogether.

The Tranny is an MTX 75, btw. I'd like to have it work well again b/c the car is still a blast to drive. I read the threads about the Getrag. I'd love to have 6th, but I guess it's really not feasable.

Would'nt wheel bearings be taken care of at the next brake job? Or is there another set of bearings that I'm not considering?


I just keep coming up with more questions How is the brake job on an ABS system different from non-ABS?



PS -- this is what that part of the alphabet would look like without Q and R.
