Labor cost on sport shifter install?

I was quoted 6 hours!!! to install my Porsche Sport Shifter.

I have searched and found various quotes to others from $150 and up.

My question is, does anyone have the official "by the book" hours for this install? I would think that this being a Porsche factory part that there should be a standard, but dealers seem to be pulling numbers out of their hats on this one.

The quoted time from the Porsche Tech Bulletin, including removing and installing the gearshift bracket and the center console is 100 TUs.

I believe a TU is 1 minute.

I have installed 3 of these now and I would say 1.5 - 2 hours max.

Thanks for the replies guys. I find it curious my dealership is not going by, or anywhere near the book. I will have to inquire about their reasoning later. For now, I got my Salesperson to lower the price of the short shifter to $420 and leave it in the trunk when I pick up the car. I'll install it on my own later.

Thanks. for the info.

I'm in Gainesville; but there a bunch of Jax owners. I know for example jaxbch987 has been on the forum for a very long time, among others. Are you buying your car from Brumos? I've come to the conclusion that their service department is always way overpriced against others.

If you are free in between May 16-18, I suggest joining us for Rock and Croc rally 3, there will probably be several Caymans caravanning up from FL. Also are you a member of the crown PCA? We might run into each other at one of their events.
