How much should this cost?

[Genjibud]

So I found a transmission to put in my Camry for $150, which made me want to get everything else fixed. I think I need CV axles (at least one...) because it clunks when I put it in gear, makes a clicking noise in reverse sometimes, and clicks when I'm turning occasionally. I think I also need motor mounts because my car vibrates a lot, especially at idle. If I get all of that stuff replaced, how much do you guys think labor would cost? I will call shops to get estimates when I make up my mind about all this, but I was just wondering what you guys think.

I recently did the motor mounts on my car so I can tell you about that. There are 5 mounts for the I4 3SFE.

Two "shoulder" mounts on either side.
Two "wheel" mounts at the bottom.
One at the bottom rear center that looks like a solid brick of rubber.

I did all three bottom mounts which attach to the engine cross member. I replaced the rubber insulators, brackets, and hardware but really only the rubber parts are needed. It'll be about $150 for the three OEM rubber parts, about half that for aftermarket.

I called the dealer first and they wanted something like $400 per mount for parts and labor, so I did the job myself. The car is much quieter at idle. When I revved the engine before with the hood open I could see the engine tilt backwards. Now it holds still!

Dang, that's expensive to have someone else do it :/ I might just replace all of them so that I don't have to worry about it later.
