 All of the repairs can be done by a moderate DIYer, certainly by a competent mechanic.

I'm a DIY. Replaced my AOS in <2 hours. Part ~$125.
I'll be pulling my own transmission pan. Parts ~$90. Fluid ~$60.
Those 2 you could do yourself.  Save the quid for upgrades... mods... and beer. When it comes time for axle work... I'll be consulting the forum.
The RMS. Ouch.
Good luck.
