I did my first tranny service by myself (even the Isuzu service center only flushes them now for $179) yesterday. I started at 6:00 PM, I wasn't sure how much of my life (and beer) it will take but I finished right past midnight 
My Trooper has 62K miles now, I changed all the the goodies including the German filter and ~ 4+ quarts of fluid (brown but not too bad.) I'm just glad I'll never ever have to do this crap again - it wasn't fun... Maybe I'll replace the fluid eventually but pumping and taking the bath in Dexron III is not my thing anymore.
One thing that worries me is the fact that I might have screwed the larger pan in a bit too much and the new gasket started breaking apart where the screw holes are with some pieces sticking out a bit. Is that a big deal? I just hope not...
