tranny swap

A friend of mine is getting a 96 Talon TSI front wheel drive manual with port/polished intake/heads, exhaust, 16G turbo yada yada, only problem is first gear is gone. the guy has a tranny that comes with the car, but he needs it put in. just wondering who here could help him out and how much it would cost. I know a lot of poeple on here do sidework and whatnot so I told him I would ask.
