You do have to remove the entire pan to drain it. I would recommend having the truck on a lift, just so it will be easier to get at all of the bolts. You will need a gasket set for the transmission, and a Dex/Merc mix of transmission fluid. You can just go to a local garage for this, and they...

If you want to, go ahead. The only thing that I would be worried about is whether or not the transmission will be able to hold up to the additional power.

When an automatic transmission doesn't want to go into a gear, it usually means that there is a lack of pressure in the tranny. You should check it and add some or drain it a little to get the proper level for it. By the way, change it about every 50,000 to 75,000 miles.

No matter what, if you have 4-wheel disc brakes, you should replace all of the pads, front and rear, at the same time. If one side needs pads, it's likely that the other side isn't far behind. As far as how many miles, it all depends on what kind of driving you do. If you do mostly highway...

If it's a manual, bring it to a auto shop. They'll know where to do that. If it's an automatic, there will be a place to check the fluid underneath the hood. That's where you will add the fluid.

Chevy Metro? I really need the power. I am starting to look for a diesel motor and tranny that is made to fit into it, but I am kinda looking for a gas motor so I don't have to modify the suspension to take the extra weight of a diesel motor.
