Should take even less time than a motor oil change.
Is there a crush washer that needs to be replaced when the bottom drain plug is removed? I went to a Ford dealer today and the guy in the parts department brought up a picture of the transmission. It seemed like the drain plug and washer are only sold as a set and he didn't have any in stock. (Of course, I could probably just use the aluminum kind I have on my Honda...)
