it isnt that hard to do just drop the pan and remove the valve body. just make shure your work area is very clean and dust free,follow the instuction rite to the letter and youll be fine.

I have one in the C4 in my 72. The original owner had it installed when he had the trans rebuilt. The shifts are very firm and noticable.
