I replaced it today, and was surprised how easy it was. I was putting off doing it, since we have the new twins, and a second vehicle and I work from home, but today took the ST to the hobby shop (on base garage with lifts and tools) and had it done in an hour. That even includes some BSing with the guys working there.



Pointless story, but if you don't look back that way when doing oil changes you might want too, my seal was rotted out and leaking tranny fluid. It wasn't a bad leak, but no leak is a good leak.
