transmission and IMS bearing, DIY or take to shop?

I need to replace the transmission and IMS bearing on my 996 C2.
I have a transmission with low miles on the way but really not sure how big of a job it would be to do myself.

The transmission part seems pretty simple. The IMS bearing and RMS I am not sure about. I have seen write ups on it and it doesn't look that complicated but then I see some stuff that kind of scares me.

The only place near by that will do it quoted me $1800 to do it including the rear main seal and a LN engineering IMS bearing.

I was thinking about doing it myself and using the Pelican kit. It just seems that if it isn't a huge deal to do the bearing it would be better to have a fresh one every time the clutch is replaced. Also from what I read, it is easier to damage the LN bearing installing it if you don't know what you are doing.

So anyway, is this something that I will regret getting into if I do myself?
