It's a fairly simple task.  Be sure you have enough 'containment' under the
pan.  I had a problem with one of the bolts stripping out the threads in the
tranny housing.  For now I'm using a longer bolt next change I'll install a
helicoil to repair the threads.  The Bus Depot sells a filter and pan gasket
set.
