Looking for some advice on a potential rebuild for my 1978 FJ 40. Engine has been diagnosed by two mechanics as needing a rebuild. Low compression numbers (90,77,80,80,78,90). Transmission is slipping out of gear constantly. I can do much smaller jobs, but I do not have the work area, time or the expertise to do this job.
My question is this: Is $9,500 a good, fair price for someone to perform the following work:
1- Rebuild engine
2- Rebuild transmission
3- Rebuild transfer case
4- Rebuild front axle to include service steering knuckles, service wheel bearings, replace differential bearings and seals.
5- Replace clutch
6- All labor, fluids, shop supplies
Engine rebuild will include the following;
Thanks in advance everyone.
