[Help With Changing AT Filter - Dropping the pan]

As some of you know, I lost reverse. Some members recommened cleaning the pan and filter on my 95 XE AT. I plan on giving this a shot this weekend. Some posts say that you have to remove a piece of the exhaust system to drop the pan. Is there any to avoid this? Do you have to put a new gasket on or can you get away with reusing the old one? If you do have to remove a piece of the exhaust system to drop the pan, how hard is it, any special tools needed?

 

Any help, tips are GREATLY appreciated as I am a very novice mechanic and get especially nervous with trannys.

I started looking for this info yesterday.

Its a god send, step by step, gives me the knack to save some money and build the self esteem.

More info and more relevant than and purchased manual.

I ended up locating the service manual pdf's online as well so now I am ready for almost anything.

 

Thanx

Does anyone have an idea if the 2001 pdf's still exist anywhere?

I need to do an Auto service so looking for direction, a simple clean out and filter change.

If no manuals, can anyone give me a step by step with photos of anything tricky
