[E-Type] repair pricing info needed

Im new to the list and a new owner of a 69 XKE 2+2(automatic) . I have a bad
front seal on my transmission(Borg-warner automatic)causing it to leak when
the engine gets hot. I was given a quote of $900 to a $1000 to replace the
seal. They said they needed to pull the tranny and it would take about 10
hrs. I would like some advise on the quote/hrs, and I would also like to know
if Im paying to have the tranny pulled is there any other maintenance I
should have done on it while its out. The engine has has 39000 miles and runs
well.

Any advise or guidance would be greatly appreciated

should do if you have to pullthe engine. But one thing I owuld recommend is to
look inot getting a 5-speed.
