Depends on the shop. It takes me about 4 - 5 straight hours, but thats working straight through with no complications and taking my time making sure everything is right and rotating correctly. I also can't help but clean up some of the random problems I see wether it be bad vacum lines, bad wiring, etc.

Super easy as far as FWD clutches go.

I would sat 3 hrs max with a lift at a properly equipped shop...

3-6 hours in a driveway......depending on your skill.. and how many people are helping.

A good friend of mine is a mechanic...he can knock it out in 1.5 hours....no really.

Remeber your going to lose youtrans fluid, and your going to need to get new fluid + friction modifier from the dealer.

DO NOT USE ANYTHING BUT MOPAR ATF+4 & MOPAR FRICTION MODIFIER...PERIOD.

If you're doing it yourself, and it's the first time you've done one, expect it to take the whole day. with friends. And 2 good jacks.

4 hours and that included tearing down the tranny to see what was wrong with i(complete tear down). I would say for your first time it should take all day and take your time.
