Auto Trasmission Cable Avensis (2005) - How Much?

[Avensis Avenger]

Dear Friends,

I have need for a new automatic transmission cable as it is stiffening up significantly (it has been on the cards for years).

Has anyone on the forum had this replaced before? I would be interested to know what is a reasonable quote.

I have been told that the cable must be an original Toyota part and have been quoted £230 incl VAT by and independent garage who have fitted a replacement cable before (and who I tend to trust).

Many thanks

Quoted £475 inc VAT by Toyota..... 3/5ths of that is labour. Over double that quoted by an independent.

The new cable solved the problem, and was replaced at my local garage on't cheap. Since replacement the gear shift lever has worked a treat.
