Torque Convertor install

Hey,
I want to get a new torque convertor for my car (1991 GTA 350) But I
cannot do the installation myself so I am going to have a shop do it. Any
estimates as to how much this will cost? Hours involved? Thanks bye

It's pretty straitforward although it would be easier if the torque arm didn't exist. A 'real' mechanic can do it in less than an hour, but at $40/hr whats the hurry!?

I just called for a quote to R&R the torque converter and was told 4.6 hours at $82.00 an hour.

I'm imagining the 4.6 hours is a "book" estimate?!?!
