Guys with no history of taking down a transmission have done this job in their garages. So its not a technically difficult procedure, it's a one day job. You figure four hours to take down the trans an hour to do the extraction (a special tool is required that makes it simple) and putting it it all back together.
So ballpark 10 hours. Around these parts shops charge between $80-$100. You also have to add the cost of a fresh oil change because the system has to be cleaned out after this job.

Mine was $1350 at The Porsche Specialist in Broomhall, PA, including the bearing. I don't think you save any by buying the bearing directly and taking it to your mechanic. Try pcarshops.com for a list of shops in your area, some of which have reviews, and there is probably someone here on this forum near your area with a recommendation.

in Atlanta Georgia, i was qouted 600 in parts, 700 in labor from solo motorsports. - that is just the ims and the rms. i want some other stuff done, so looking more like 2200 or 2700 for clutch, flyweel resurface, rms, ims, and water pump.
