3. How hard to install? I will be doing my 90,000 mile service soon, so I might as well do this while I am working on major projects. I would love to give it a shot installing it myself.

Any hints would be appreciated.

1. I just purchased mine from Carson on last friday
2. Only $749. They matched a price i found on another companies website. Once again proving how honest and competitive they are!
3. I dont recommend the dealership to do this since it will cost an arm and a leg. Find a good tranny shop. I had to do some searching since i am in the midwest. But i found one that mainly works on imports only. He quoted me around $450 install fee including tranny flush and fill. DONT FORGET TO GET THE TRANNY COOLER!!! I bought my Hayden one from a website, and i cant figure out the link that i clicked on. Someone had mentioned it before on CL, but i cant find the link

email todd@tmengineering.net about it, i think i got a better price from him before but i forgot. the install it pretty intensive coz' they have to pull out the whole tranny, probably around 5 to 6 hours of work. it's no where easy
