Default Is this a good price? T5 conversion

Howdy all,

I have decided manual is the way to go for me. Im never going to have the ability to go to the track often and have full use of a high stall. Im also going to have very little use when driving to work (80/100km zone) causing undue slipping daily.

So i decided manual is the better option for me.

I emailed Malwood and they put together then quote-

Matthew,
I have been trying to source a manual computer and I may have one so I will now quote on the T5 upgrade, the parts in our kit are listed here.....

* New flywheel and bolts
* New HP clutch kit and bolts
* New pedal kit and New clutch cable
* Bellhousing and fork
* Reconditioned XR6 5 speed
* New gearstick
* New gear knob
* New floor boot and retainer
* New console insert

Total price of the kit will be $3850 plus $550 fitting plus the cost of the manual computer which should only be $330.
If you want the car to go a lot quicker off the mark then you should consider fitting a diff ratio of 3.73, with the overdrive 5th the revs on the open road will still be fine, all parts are available ex stock at present.
Regards, Mal Wood
Is that price reasonable for a drive in drive out transaction? I will keep the old gearbox for a rainy day too.

$4235

I will also go 3.7's as advised but this will more then likely be done before the t5.
