For you to do the work or a local shop, or a dealer?

A shop- dealer or transmission or even local mechanic. Just a ballpark low to high. Thx

Then I'd say you're looking at the $300-$500 range.

You only asked about the flywheel cost, not a starter and the fluids. But anyway, for everything that's pretty much in line for a dealer.

I'll assume you meant replace not repair. The cost will vary across the country, however I have found that most transmission shops can pull the tranny and get at the flywheel for less money, mostly because they're better experienced at pulling the tranny out in less time.

I would think a expedition trans R&R is at least 6 hours. The dealer quote sounds about right to me. Dealer's labor rates and parts prices are normally higher than independent shops.

Not all shops work off of flat rate.

I can bet you, that every shop has Mitchell, all data, or some other kind of labour guide that they follow for billing out hours, or at least they do here in the great white north of Canada. I’m a journeyman automotive service technician, even though I’m not paid plat rate wages, the shop I work at bills out what the labour guide says. Lots of backyard people up here, but I wouldn’t trust them with tuning up my lawnmower, let alone my vehicle. Though, I maybe wrong, I know in the states, it’s a whole different ballgame.
