Garage hours - gearbox and diff

[ScuttleRX]

Anyone had there gearbox/diff oil changed at a garage lately, just wondering how many hours labour they are likely to charge? Considering getting it done for the weekend if the price is right

Had mine done month or so ago, up in the air [on a 4 poster] it took no more than an hour.
If you are going for the 1/4 make sure you put the right stuff in :evillaugh

Sounds promising, I\'ll have a hunt round tomorrow see what prices people are asking

Pretty much the only reason im changing it, last run of year might as well make it a good \'un When you say that do you just mean use some good quality stuff, or is there a type of oil that would be more suited to drag launches and not so delicate gear shifts

Thats the one  dont ask me what I had in mine, all I know is you have to change it every 6k or 6 months which ever is soonist, good oil makes quite a difference to the amount of abuse you can give them

I got my diiff oil done at reworx last week including the oil don\'t think it cost more than 20 quid. Did the gearbosx myself a while back thought, its definately worth putting good oil in, I used redline heavy duty shockproof oil in my gearbox.
