    Anyone done it recently?
    just wanted to price shop.
    Don't have the space to do it myself.

    Continental?
    LFSC?
    Ed's?
    Others?

    need oil done. Should also do coolant (its been 2 years).

    LFSC quoted me about $700 for everything (including gearbox) parts, labor.

    Don't you still have access to your lift? 2 hours work...$700...makes sense to do it yourself, especially if you still have the lift...

    Yeah Mike. Do this yourself at your place or mine. $700 is more than twice a retail K&M charge.

    Lift is not terribly accessible at this point (renters... cars...)

    I've just about been spooked into doing the major on the car.
    It's been 5 years.... and I'm getting paranoid.
    No good reason, really, other than I have not driven her much lately (obviously), and all those squeaks and rattles have my nuts in my throat!
    ... and if I'm gonna pay a fair amount of $ for fluids, why not go all the way?

    I really hate this part of F ownership... the mental anquish!

    Mike, take it to Ed's; he'll give you a fair deal.
