Torque Converter Installation Question

[BA.]

I purchased a PI torque converter recently for my 99 GS400.

I'm thinking about buying a Service Manual and just doing the darn thing myself with the help of some friends.

My question is, Is this going to be much different than doing the same thing on say,...a Chevy or a Ford?

Sure, there's some electronics here, but, I was viewing that as probably being an unpluggable harness or connector. (or 2 or 3)

I've done a handful of TC replacements on older muscle-cars, done head swaps, carbs, intakes, and one main bearing replacement on a 327.

I think they call for 6.5 hrs of work for the TC installation.

Should I do this myself?? I've had 2 shops now quote me between $500-$590. I've only got one or two more places to check!

I own a trans shop 400.00 is plenty should only take 2.5 for a professional shop if they have a decent R&R man.
