Dealers don't make money on car sales, so they make it up in the shop. Their hourly labor rate is generally higher than an independent garage. They also charge list prices for their parts.
When the transmission is out, check the clutch. If it's worn considerably, replace it now, it will be cheaper in the long run, than to have to pull the trans 2-3-4 months down the road again to replace the clutch.
