Thanks a bunch.
Just wanted to let you know that I can perform this task in 45 minutes or less... [only because I am familiar with the procedure...]

Plan on 3-4 hours if you are doing this for the first time...

The chiltons mechanics guide book lists it as a 1.5 hour job...[mechanics labor rate X 1.5 hr.=$?$]

Expect difficulty in removing the pan drain plug and the torque coverter drain plug...[I think they are both 5mm allen head bolts...]

Since I usually remove the pan, I tend not to disturb/remove the pan drain plug...

My primary mechanic swears by "TRANS-X" brand tranny treatment...

Compare any treatment products you consider...

Only trying to help, thanks...
