1992 Manual Transmission Cost & Options

I have a 1992 3-door turbo with 235K that needs a manual transmission due to a cracked case/failed tranmission. Overall, the car is in excellent condition. I am being quoted $3K on the low end. I am also being told there are many things that will probably need to be replaced (or at least recommended) since the engine will be out of the car. Depending on what "needs" to be done, the cost may increase to $5K. I have read various posts regarding people who work on transmissions, are good, and affordable. The problem - all the posts I have read reference mechanics or companies in coastal states. Any advice for someone in central Ohio would be appreciated. I just don't know if it is feasible for me to transport this vehicle to the east coast. Some of the questions in my mind:
1) The price I am being quoted seems high compared to what I have read on this site.
2) I can get it towed to my house, order a transmission from one of the recommended companies, but have never performed any transmission work. I enjoy working on the vehicle, but this is out of my league. I am more then willing to pay someone for their time and guidance, but the problem is finding someone.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
