In case you want to here are the steps.

Get one of those 2qt plasic measuring pitchers from the store, or use your wifes, like I did, only don't tell her. Get an oil change pan. I use the kind that is inclosed with drip holes in the top from Walmart. Get a long neck plastic funnel, like from AutoZone. Walmart probably has that also.

Drain the transmission pan, keeping track of how much tranny juice you take out. My LS dropped 3 qts. from the pan.

Now put the plug back in the pan and put how may qts you just drained out of new ATF back in.

Disconnect the tranny cooling lines at the bottom of the radiator. Put the measuring cup on the oil change pan and point both lines down to the pitcher until you know which line is the exit side.

Have someone start the car, drain 2 qts and stop the car.

Put 2 qts in.

Start the car and drain 2 qts.

Put 2 qts in.

You can stop now if the last exit of tranny juice looked nice and red.

If not do it again. Drain 2, replace 2.

That should do it.

Cost was about $60 including oil pan, funnel and pitcher.

It can be done in an hour. Cleanup and all.
