how afraid are you of opening up your tranny and having it all fall apart to where you can't put it back together? for a first time I'd find someone who has done it before and either get them to help you or just watch and pay really close attention. it's not really that hard but if things get screwed up you can get yourself in a seroius bind. I would still probably either get a good condition used trans and get a little help with the installs or just have a pro do a rebuild and the installs at the same time.
