The good news is the seal is around $15-$30 depending on where you buy it. The bad news is the transmission needs to come out which if you can't DIY, expect $1000 or so in labor. While the transmission is out, it's a good idea to change the clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing. The axle seals and shift shaft seal should also be changed. So, you're looking at maybe $500 in parts and maybe $1500 in total labor. Removing and replacing the transmission is a DIY job if you have a warm garage to work in, a second vehicle and the right tools. I did mine two years ago and it took around 20 hours over a little more than a week. I've been retired since 2001, so it doesn't take brute strength, just some planning.
