depends on if it is a 1 piece or 2 piece. take it to a dealer if it is a 1 piece, involves dropping trans. alot of work unless you know someone who has a lift. if it is a 2 piece then drop the pan and unbolt the cap, you may have to unbolt the motor mounts and lift the engine to get the pan out. push the old seal out with a dowel or old chop sticks makeing sure not to scratch the block or the journal. make sure everything is clean before re-installing everything. torque the cap bolts to specs or you'll ruin your engine over time.

pan gasket and seal cost around 25-50 dollars.

hope this helps.
