Another vote for Jake Lamotta if you can't find anyone closer. He typically charges $250+tax for the labor, plus whatever parts you desire to have replaced/upgraded. He can order them for you, or you can have them drop-shipped to him. Busy guy, small shop. Definitely need an appointment.
NLP usually takes their M6's to Jake, btw.

Basically you are looking at $300-350 for the trans R&R, $250 or so for the trans rebuild labor plus parts, sealer and fluids. Parts can range from as little as approx $700 to $1500 or more if you want to get more exotic and use cryo treatments.
A average 3-4 shift issue repair is in the $1600 area approx with all labor and parts, but hard to say until you get the trans opened up. This includes new blockers, synchros, steel 3-4 shift fork, sealer, seals and fluids.
I have done up to $3000 builds depending on what is broke and what the customer is trying to do. Then of course there are the clutch questions as well as the hydraulics.
Hope this helps.
