For the repair of the left heater flap (if its repairable) the price of the sleeve and lever is about $50.00, the labor for 1 side is about 1.5 hours. So at the dealership I work at, the repair for left heater flap would be $215 + taxes.
Heres the front page of the service bulletin for early 9-5. If your car is a 2004 or newer, there is a differant part but the cost is about the same.

Background
The air mixing damper (heater damper) shaft may
fail at which temperature control operates unsatisfactorily
or not at all. The nature of the failure may
be such that the problem is intermittent.
The diagnostic trouble codes B2295 and B2495
may be generated.
In many cases the air mixing damper shaft is only
broken in the area from the outer end closest to the
stepping motor to 30-40 mm in toward the damper,
and can then be repaired using this method. Consequently,
repairs in accordance with TSB 854-2411
ed. 2 (US/CA) or TSB 854-2396 ed. 2 (other markets)
respectively are not necessary.
In the case of customer complaint the air mixing
damper shaft must be checked in accordance with
the following method.
