Yes. While the gear box is open, the technician may require/recommend additional parts to be installed. Some of these additional expenses can be figured prior to installation, some may crop up once the transmission is opened. Some gear sets may need additional parts as well. For example, some dog box transmissions should/must have new shifting forks or a shifter interlock. These parts can total as much as $1000. Total cost depends on your gear set and manufacturer/installer recommendations.
