Jason, I had no place to do the work when I did mine and ended up having a defunct dodge dealer do mine. Took the guy about 3-1/2 hours start to finsh. This guy from dropping the shaft to sitting on the bench took him 50 minutes. I watched but didn't get my hands on anything. But using a lift with a trans jack I think you might be able to just roll the trans back enough to pull the converter and slide the new one back in. If you are changing the front seal then you will need to drop it down enough to get at the seal. Seemed he put two qts in the converter. Ther was a DIY floating around, I'll see if I can locate it.

Edit: Olddirtyjohn did a DIY if I remember right, but I can't find it. Anyone have a link?
