transmission fluid needs changed Options

[Terzin1]

I'm looking to do some regular maintenance on my 95 GT vert. The car runs fantastic. I just checked the tranny fluid stick and it's looking a littler more brown than I like. I've had the car nearly a decade and never had it changed, but I think my parents did at one point. Needless to say, it's pretty brown and needs it.

Is this something that I could do at home w/o a lift or is it something that is not worth the headache and I should get a garage to do it? If it's the garage route, what would a good price for the tranny fluid change be? First garage I called wanted $150.

looked at your car. And correct me if I am wrong but it looks to be Automatic.

give it a read through and judge if youll be able to handle it or not. I had assumed you had a manual trans, Ive never changed auto trans fluid
