Greetings,

I have a 2005 2500 Duramax and I've tacked down a transmission leak at the pan gasket. My choices to fix it: Take it back to the guy who serviced the transmission 15K ago... or replace the gasket myself.

I'm pretty handy but I've never touched a transmission pan. Is it as easy as it seems? Drain oil... drop pan... replace gasket? Is there something I'm missing?

I know this is such an easy rookie question... I'm just looking for responses like: Don't Do IT!... you might do... this... and break that.... Or.... yes... it is that easy.

Thanks in advance.

Richard
