Just a few questions:

1: Is it located in the trans side pan?
2: Will I need to raise or lower the trans/engine via loosen/removing mounts?
3: Will a substancial amount of fluid drain out, if so how much?
4: Seems to me that it will be a 2.5 to 4 hour job, can anyone confirm this?
5: Anyone else do this before? Anything I should be careful of, hints or tips?

Thanks

Oh, the car is a 1996 Cavalier Z24 4speed Automatic (A 4T40E I believe.)
