A transaxle exchange is not an easy job. With average mechanical skills you can accomplish the job, but I wouldn't even consider it with out some sort of transmission jack. It can be done with a floor jack, but it can be very dangerious. If it falls it can crush an arm, hand or worse!

I disagree that you can't use Dexron III in a 3 speed tranny. Dexron III is just fine for a 3 speed but I would not recommend anything but ATF 4 for the 4 speed. You can use ATF 4 in a 3 speed but it isn't necessary in my opinion.
