yeah..... its not that bad if you have a cherry picker and a good floor jack. The car needs to go way up... more then a jack stand... and a jack stand is bad cause you have to convince the tranny to come out.... then put a floor jack under the tranny, strap it too the floor jack, then lower it. you dont need any out of the ordinary tools though.... and when reassembling make ture to get the tourque converter back in right or the tranny will be locked up!

I've done a clutch on my old '03 and replaced the tranny in my '03 using jackstands. No lift required or any height higher than a jack stands. No cherry picker needed also...
Just be aware of what you are taking apart and remember how it goes back. Take pictures if need be. I've done mine in a little less than 4 hours, but 4 hours is a good estimate.
