its easy but messy, as there is no drain plug in the pan so you open it up and it spills out everywhere.  then the filter is inside the tranny its a flat thing. held in by bolts youll also need a sump gasket

My 98 has a drain plug. I'm about to do the filter change too, it is a flat thing and you are supposed to change it about every 40k miles I believe.

It has a drain plug, the oil pan has no gasket, you need to reseal with RTV.
