Default LSD Install - How Much?

How much is a fair price for an LSD install? I already have the tranny out of the car and seprate from the engine.

Amcco quoted me almost $600 plus tax which I thought was rediculous.

I spent $400 after dropping the trans myself and bringing it to a local transmission shop.

Edit: The people at the shop I took it to had no clue what they were doing. They actually managed to break a gasket from the install kit and made me order a replacement. So $600 all together from an experienced shop is realistic. Definitely do not try to do it yourself. That transmission is a pandora's box.

a FWD LSD is pretty simple install really, you just have to take your time and be careful. but 4-800 is about the normal a shop charges for it
