How do you think we do the shift kit bro ;-). The pan is easy to remove. A bunch of 10mm bolts holding it in place. Release the bolts take a small pry bar and a rubber mallet and beat the bastard off. Make sure you have a large container below because tons of fluid is going to pour out. However I would recommend for the trans temp sensor that you just get a remote filter which is a good idea anyways and connect the sending unit to the port on the filter mount.
