Default Info. on changing transmission fluid

Hello all,
I've searched a few sites and search engines, but had no luck. Does anyone have any links or info on how to do a DIY transmission fluid change and filter replacement on the '03 tranny for the HEMI motors? Any help would be appreciated.

Go and buy the new filter and pan gasket for your transmission. Dodge says you can reuse the old gasket if it's in good shape but i prefer to replace them.

Loosen all the bolts on your pan, break the seal and allow the fluid to drain out of one corner into a container. Remove the pan completely. Remove the fluid filter and replace. Replace the pan gasket being sure you have an even/smooth surface and bolt it back into place.

This couldn't be easier. It's not much different than changing your own motor oil. Just a few more bolts to deal with. I suggest you pick up a repair manual for your truck on CD or in book form. You won't have nearly as many questions.
