First Gen Insight Transmission Question

The newest twin has a noisy input shaft bearing in the transmission. I was worried that it would be a big deal to re & re the trans due to the electric motor etc. However, a mechanic friend of mine looked up the labour time and said that is books out at 4 hours, which doesn't seem bad at all. I have done a trans re & re on a normal Civic before, can anyone tell me if doing the same job on an Insight is similar in difficulty? Or do I have to start removing hybrid bits to get at things?
