It will take a minimum of 14 labor hours at reputable shop to remove, overhaul and reinstall your tranny. 14 hours at the average cost of $75 an hour adds up to around $1,000 just in labor. If there are several parts needing replaced on the tranny then that will add up quickly to anouther $1,000 which comes to the subtotal of approx. $2,000. A tranny rebuild is always going to be an expensive repair, it doesn't matter if its a chevy truck, ford focus or a lambo. It's an expensive fix and 2k is actually pretty cheap. You could purchase a new tranny for almost 2k alone then pay anouther 1k in labor to replace your old one.
