    If you do it yourself, it'll get messy because you have antifreeze and transmission oil in there. Keep the critters away when you open the radiator hoses because that green shit is toxic to most anything that tastes it.

    So if you do it yourself, don't forget to disconnect the transmission oil lines at the bottom of the radiator. Make sure you have some of the right kind of tranny fluid on hand.
