I will not even post my comments much past this. Figure labor around $100/hr and the fact to replace the leaking front seal on the trans requires it to be removed then reinstalled in addition to the repair. This is usually 5-7 hours by itself.

In reality, I am more concerned how the reaction times/quality of driving is of this 92 year old driver along with any potential safety issues they cause on the roads. Around here this age group is very poor at driving. But hey, I guess that is too taboo to discuss...

If you do not like the pricing, go fix it yourself. This thread is pointless and should be deleted or locked.
