Number of labor hours for a job

How many hours would it take for a competent mechanic to replace the automatic transmission in a 1995 Civic EX?

I have a car matching the description above, with 199k. It sometimes does a hard shift. Will I be able to tell when it is about to fail? How many more miles does it probably have before that happens?

4-5 hours it can be done.

Honda automatics are not the smoothest things ever made, you should expect the occasional hard shift.

What makes you think it needs replacement?

hard shifts happen... when it starts to slip you should worry...
