What I didn't get are a whole host of issues, one example being the misalignment of the bellhousing and trans. You're paying an expert with 25+ years of Cobra-specific experience and knowledge.
I didn't have any of this issues either and I installed the drivetrain myself. Yes, you need to be careful and you may make some mistakes, but you can do it if you are patient and will be rewarded. It's not rocket science.
