You have to remove the pan, but not the valve body. Once the pan is off there is nothing in the way.

ok i need more help. installed the cell pack on sunday and it didnt fix the proplem. the transmission runs at least 25 degrees warmer than it ever has (150 to 170). when it gets warm it starts acting up. when it leaves a light in first gear it feels like your power braking it, holds second gear for a very long time, down shifts hard into first gear. any ideas? thanks brent.

It may have codes. It's always the best place to start diagnosing what's wrong.
