Jonathan,
save your money on the labor and do it yourself.  With the help of a
friend, you should be able to do the job in 4-5 hrs.  Takes longer to
get to the tranny than to pull it and relpace the clutch.  Than you get
to re-assemble it.  It is a realativly easy job getting the tranny out,
but you will need help getting it to line up and repostioned.
