What is a reasonable time(HOURS) to remove an automatic transmission and replace it with an already rebuilt transmission.

This is a rear drive, 1996 Buick Roadmaster. The same car as a Chevrolet Caprice.

It is the 4L60-E automatic.

Thank you.

The answer to my question contains, "R/R"; I assume this Remove and Replace.

Would you please send me another answer, that spells out Remove and Replace.

I need your answer, to take to small claims court.

I have been charged $1,800.00.

I provided the mechanic with a complete, rebuilt transmission.

Thank you!
