haha ya, basically if the tranny is in the car, then its gonna be a PITA. gotta do everything upside down and under the car. if your familiar with trannies at all and can follow the instructions very carefully, id say do it yourself. out of 10 difficulty id give it a 7-8 for sure, while its in the car, cuz you cant see shit all whats going on. ive built lots of trannies for myself and others (th350/400) id send it to a shop just for ease, unless you got it removed.

id suggest rearend specialties in langley, or bc automatic in new west. theres several other places to go too :)

Word to the wise, just drop the tranny, it's not that hard. Then do it youself, or if your not comfertable put it in the trunk of a car and haul it to a specialist.
*edit* i assumed it;s not your Daily driver and it's not on the road. If it is you could obviously just drive the car to a specialist.

it is, if you absolutely know what your doing, have the right equipment and a hoist, a tranny jack etc. lol that leaves about 90% of everyone out :P or the tranny is out of the car, then its easy too ;D
