Not at all..... this job only involves removing the tranny pan , and depending on the type of kit you purchase , the work detail will vary.... a good kit ( mostly all are ) will give you not only the parts , but specific easy to read step by step instructions.......... just make sure you have a new pan gasket and filter on hand .... and while your at it why not change out the fluid .... don't forget to drain out your converter , there will be a 1/8 th pipe plug somewhere on the outer perimiter... although I have seen some that are not drill and tapped , so don't fret over this ....if your tranny is in good shape the kit you install will sharpen up your shifts ...... but a word of caution ......if your tranny is in poor shape now , then the added kit will drastically shorten it's life.......so go ahead throw the kit to it .....if your moderately mechanically linclined it will be a snap.....
