I've looked into the box on a 560SL itself, and even though the seal kit is inexpensive, it takes some real skill, experience, and tools (quite a few) to do the job properly, and this is NOT something you want to "try out" in a car. I have a place local to me that will charge 3 hours of labor to reseal and adjust the box (also in the car if req'd) if I take it out and put it in myself, so you can see that your quote might not be that bad from an hour point of view. At $65/hr, this is a good deal because I'd rather have my 93K box than a "rebuilt" costing more, from an unknown car with unknown mileage.
As far as removing/reinstalling the box itself is concerned, very few have ever reported it as being anything but nasty.
