If you have a couple jack stands and a decent jack (floor jack preferably) doing all this work yourself really isn't too bad. I've done my tranny fluid/filter 3 times. It's messy but it really isn't hard.
For that amount of money (maybe even less) you could buy all the tools and supplies you need to gitterdun on yer own.

I would LOVE to be able to do that. However, I dont have the time, energy, or resources at the moment. With work, my 3 month old son, and a bajillion other things piling up, I am better off just paying someone to do the work.Originally Posted by nfpgasmask

I definitely enjoy any time that I get to work on the vehicross. I just haven't had time. Maybe I can retire at age 30.

Oh I understand completely! In my case though, my cars are my children!
I've been spending countless hours on my Trooper, learning tons, and keeping my fingernails dirty.

Yeah, its pretty bad when I get excited to find enough time to grease my sway bar bushings, or other remedial tasks like that.
I may even fill my windshield washer fluid soon. YAAAAAAY!

Success!!!!!!!!
I replaced my transmission mount (including the missing bolt) and have fixed my knocking noise. I have also fixed a noise that I swear was coming from my rear shocks. Its amazing the difference one missing bolt can have.
While the cross-member was off I replaced every bolt that was involved with removal, with a new loc-tite-ed one.
I can FINALLY take corners faster with greater confidence of NO MORE KNOCKING!!!!!
EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR TRANSMISSION MOUNT BOLTS!!!!
