General mechanic next door said he'd quoted similar for the same model, and thought his trade price from the specialist would be about $4,000.

Will let you know how I go!

My experience was much the same as Mondaveo. Same specialist. Same price.

A clutch replacement was not part of our repair, so this might account for the extra cost. I enquired about it as i had 134K km but they said it wasn't required and the clutch was in a different part of the transmission to where the sensor is and required more dismantling.
What is prompting the clutch replacement? Mine is starting to get a bit grabby on takeoff so I'm wondering if mine might be on the way out. (310K km)

Also, my repair was 4 years ago, so prices would of increased.

My advice would be, if you get the repair done, get them to change the rear main engine seal whilst they are in there. Mine developed a leak not long after my transmission repair, and it seems to be a common problem, and a transmission out repair.
