How many hours should be required for a garage mechanic to swap out a bad transmission in the above model with a replacement transmission?

just had this done two weeks ago. My tranny guy charged me 700.00 labor and 1325 for the transmission. he flushed the radiator also. it took him about eight hours total for removal and reinstall. They have to lower the motor to do the work. Took it to Volvo dealer two days later to have the computer aligned with the new tranny so it was "aware" it had new equipment to detect. They said it looked good. Only one opps a 02 sensor harness got a bit crunched, but not disabled. So a check engine light came on after install. Volvo fixed it.....no charge.
