    Just do the work yourself use the write up step by step it's not that hard. What else needs to be done?

    What step by step write up? I'm confused. It's not that hard to change the filter? Not that hard to install the shift kit? Or not that hard to install the transmission cooler? I'd love to do the work myself. I just need to know what I'm getting myself into. Besides the transmission issue the engine seems to run well. The last place I took it for service refused to do a radiator flush and fill because they said the oil and antifreeze and water were all mixing because I needed a lower manifold gasket. So, I took it home I checked it and did NOT see any mixture of those so with some help I did the flush myself. I just got a letter from GM saying not to park it in the garage because it could catch on fire. I guess they are waiting on parts. They are going to change a gasket of some kind. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll be the gasket that controls the mixing of the antifreeze and oil but I doubt it. It needs a couple new or good used front tires and the battery is dead if the car is left sitting for over 10 days so I'm probably going to get a new battery for it as well. As far as I can tell that is all the problems, and I REALLY hope the transmission issue does not turn into a big issue. I'm taking it tomorrow to my brother's brother-in-law to have the transmission codes scanned to see if there are any and to also reset the learning mode on the transmission. I hope the tranny can make it there to his house and doesn't get worse on the way.

    Nope, easy.

    That's a little more involved.

    Valve cover gasket. Very common.

    Take a look at that write up. That will be your guide. If you have any questions before or during the process, post it here. I'm certain someone (probably a couple people) will help you out.
