Default shift fork replacement

So tomorrow Bell Honda is going to replace the 3-4 shift fork in my accord to address the notchy issue in 3rd gear. I see the part is rather cheap (50 bucks or so). I was wonderin what kind of labor goes into it? I'm not payin for it, but still, I was curious. Anyone?

Automatic or manual accord? I'm assuming it's automatic if you've got a specific 3-4 shift fork since a manual has one shift fork (didn't look at your signature) but it's a full tranny removal and basic teardown. I'd guess it flat rates around 6-8 hours

I am officially an idiot sometimes..... I was thinking of the fork that holds your throw-out bearing. That shift fork is in the smaller area off the main "bell" of the tranny, he has to split the tranny as well as remove it.

1) Officially Idiot
2)Occassionaly Idiot
3)Not an Idiot
4) Super Genius

6-8 hours. The transmission has to be removed from the car and disassembled.

that's quite a bit of labor. well, hopefully they will do it right. i suspect any mistakes on their part will be painfully obvious.
