It is not necessary to pull both. If it is an older block, it is a 2 piece main seal and can be changed while still in the car as described by CobraEd above. At $1500 , that's about $350 an hour, maybe more. What do YOU think? If it is a newer block with a 1 piece seal, the trans, clutch and flywheel all need to be removed. $1500 still seems quite high as the job can certainly be done in less than a day.
