well the labor alone will be like 5 to 6 hours. and then you still need tons of new fluid to flush the whole tranny and stuff.

its not going to be cheap. you need to jack up the car, take off the exhaust (at least part of it), drop the whole tranny, and change it

all these time the car will be on the lift
