the tranny shop quoted me $500 just to do the pumpkin bearings not sure how much more for the ring and pinion probably just parts as the labor is already there to R&R it. The outer wheel bearings I've already replaced and the u-joints look good so it is the disassembly of the ring and pinion and the bearings behind it that need done.
