Let me try this again, without the tongue in cheek. If you have the right guy do the job he will know more than just what the instructions say to do. Certain changes that may be needed, either in addition to or as one of the selections in a VB kit. That alone can be worth more than that price. Also, the bottom line is if something should happen this person is on the line for fixing it which can easily cost much more than that price in parts alone. This is not suggesting that you are paying them if they screw up, just on the contrary, as a business person, you would be naive or foolish to expose yourself to that risk W/O proper compensation. If you think about it, many people drop $400-500 when they go to their local brake shop and for the most part that is not nearly as complicated as working with a tranny. Lastly, if you get the job done properly (and finding someone to do that could be harder than dropping the money) you will be amazed at the difference in how your vehicle performs and stands up and I think that has value in itself. Hope I didn't ruffle any feathers!
