That would be an attractive price. I've seen accounts that have it $2500 just for the rebuilt transmission plus installation another $1200 perhaps by my guy.
In the old days, I would've changed the tranny myself. Various floor jacks, time, and stubbornness available. But I've heard the SDL tranny install is pretty tough. I did my last tranny quite a while ago, '02, my 325i E30. I thought that for only a 2.5 L engine it might be halfway lightweight.
OMG that was a tough one man job on the garage floor. And I was stronger then.
