we had similar work done... automatic tranny died. suggested options from my indy were brand new manual tranny (a bit pricey, but probably shoulda gone that way) or free automatic from a car he had out back (our indy is fantastic!). At the time, it was our only car and my wife greatly prefers automatic to stick... so we went that route... $1700 iirc, and had the car back the next day. Most if not all the cost was labour: remove engine + tranny from parts car, separate, remove engine and tranny from our car, separate, assemble + reinstall power plant back into our car. In the end, worked out well, as that tranny is still doing fine today (though I'd rather have a stick, that is still an option down the road)...
that was maybe 7 years ago? I have no idea how prices have changed over time... a shade tree mechanic probably can't charge as much as a pro, has less overhead, but also probably can't do it as fast either... like Adam says, something a little north of $1000 is probably fair depending on what else you do at the same time...
