97 Explorer pinion gear cost

My 97 2WD is in the shop for what sounds like a whining pinion gear or pinion gear bearing. I'm just waiting on the diagnosis. Has anyone had this done or know what a ball park cost should be for parts and labor?

Thank you

I had a tranny shop tell me that it would be $600-$700 to do that, and suggested it as "preventive maintenance". Needless to say I don't have any work done at that shop. I'm learning now, after not having to have my truck in the shop for 8 years, that it is sometimes not a bad idea to go to Ford. The nice thing is that it is easy to call them and ask how much to replace the pinion bearing. They should be able to tell you parts, labor, and tax.
