Rebuild Tranny

I was wondering how much it would cost to do this. Dealership wants around 3000 bucks. This includes replacing synchros and clutch. I was thinking about doing it myself but I don't want to get involved with something and end up getting over my head. All I have is some experience fixing up parts on the car such as replacing AOS, water pump, just minor stuff. But I want to get into the good stuff and I don't know if I am really capable or have the means. I have a tool kit with some sockets, wrenches and that sort. I would need to be able to put it on a lift to bring the tranny down and I don't have anything like that either (just some jack stands). If I were to buy everything I need to do the job (including a lift of some sort) would I be in the hole over 3000? I really want to do it myself and if I can help it I'd like to save some money, but even if I can't, I'd still want to do it myself as long as I don't have to pay too much. The reason for all this is that my car is approaching 110k and has 2nd gear issues. (2000 Boxster S)
