Not hard, just messy. Have a pan to catch the Fluid. Remove the screws slowly letting one corner drop more so the fluid go out in one area into your pan. Remove old Gasket well not Damaging the Surface. I use a can of Carburetor cleaner to spray the oil from the Gasket Surfaces and wipe clean with paper towels or towel. Then replace everything. Do not over tighten the screws, they can break. Just tighten about 1/4-1/2 turn once the start to snug up. If this a cork gasket you see it start to compress. IF you over tighten you see it mash out too much and it could leak later. Add new fluid to full mark. Parts store tell about how much it take.

Not hard just Messy Go to your Local Auto parts store any one will do ask for a Transmission fitler kit for you car get about 5 qts of Dextron III Trans fluid. Get under the Car remove all but about four Bolts from the Pan,Put a drain Pan under the Trans lossen the remaining four bolts let the fluid drain into the pan Remove the last four Bolts ,scrape the old gasket replace the filter, install the new gasket, and refill Trans with fresh Fluid.

You can do it if you dont mind the tranny fluid stink not coming off of you for a while. I'm just a stickly armed girl and I've done several. Its a good experience, just make sure your surfaces that touch the gasket are clean and dry. Also use a tiny line of yellow gasket sealer between the pan and gasket.

each and every cellular has DNA and it really is consisted of two strands tightly woven round one yet another. the element that stops both strands from breaking aside is termed a telomeric cap (that's random nucleotide sequences observed as nonsense codons. Codon is a three sequence of nucleotides that codes for amino acids eg. CUU is a amino acid observed as proline . A nonsense codon is one which doesnt code for any amino acid production) each and every time your cells divide a small sequence is lost there by utilizing lowering the soundness of the cellular's DNA (in layman's words). this can eventually lead do maximum of Ur cells' DNA starting to be risky. and many times even as a mistake takes position in DNA the cellular will carry out vehicle cytolysis (cellular suicide) to ward off complications. So once you're previous maximum of ur cells telomeric caps will be low and they are weak to die even as they strive against to divide.. Whats somewhat exciting about this concept is the effect it has on evolution (because this happens on both meiotic as well as mitotic divisions. which signifies that a species grows previous too earlier it mutates.. yet thats a diverse tale)
