I've done many gear sets & not just on Buick's & this is not a job for a novice.$350.00 labor is well worth it.Your already saving money by supplying the parts.Most shops won't even get involved with that.Used gears establish a pattern that have to be duplicated back to where they were originally set. If not they will whine or worst. Just my.02 worth

I agree with Lou; if the guy can provide good references then pay the $350. I have also done several GN gear changes and it is not an easy job if it is done correctly. I normally pull the rear end out of the car to make the change.

Bring the rear and parts, will set it up for $150.:smile:

Like Lou stated, with used gears, you may have some noise [or not?].
