Notes:
To get the stock Auto cable out and the factory cable in you have to have the engine out of the car unless you're skinny enough to get behind the engine. You also have to remove atleast the lower dash, and an A/C component.. again if you can fit behind the engine you are probably exempt from this step.. but someone that skiny couldn't break the bolts loose.
If you are swapping the transmission you might as well drop the LSD in while your at it.
Then I have like $600 into my new clutch/flywheel set up (Fid/spec setup). The prices above may vary, but that's what I paid when I lived in Ohio. I may be forgetting an item or two.
For a transmission swap you're looking at probably 15-20hours of labor if not more, we did mine with the engine out of the car during the swap so I couldn't give you a precise time frame. Prices vary by location for labor.. but it can get expensive if you don't want to/know how to do it yourself.

Don't get me wrong they put out some good stuff but there's more then a few stories like this about them. It's like if you don't have a supra forget about it, it's hit or miss.

They did give me the money back for not tuning and it was installed right but to send a customer out of your shop without tuning when they pay for it is . Not to mention I could of had some fiends do it and got the same results. I drove the car an 1 1/2hrs just so one of the supposed "best" can get it done right.
