I picked up the blue tops used so only paid 200 the change is straight forward I had it done at ammco for 225.00 and took about 1.5 hr's. The big problem with doing it yourself is the lack of dipstick and the fact that the fluid level is based on the temp of the tranny. So even if you get or make a dipstick you still need to be careful. I am over cautious when it comes to the tranny that is why I paid a tranny shop to do the work. Mimi I will be at the track this wed and for funday sunday so I will see you there.
