Trasmition Fluid change with Cooler

I have a 2006 Expy with a tranny cooler. I would like to change my fluid, although I understand its difficult because I have no drain plug. I also have a tranny cooler and from looking under the car it looks like that is going to make things significantly more difficult. Is this a major complication? How do you get the cooler unit off of there?

Thanks!

Why don't you just take it somewhere and have it flushed? Are you wanting to change the filter too?

I agree, not worth the hassle and mess to do it at home. You should be able to have a flush with a new filter done for under $150. This is really to only reliable way to get all of the old fluid out.
