About 20-30 minutes. A little longer if you do this.

The most time consuming part is getting the lid on. 30 minutes. an hour if you're slow and extremely cautious like me.

Set aside an hour if you've never done one before. That will leave you plenty of time for any unforeseen events.

Got torx wrench?

Typically it takes less than a half hour. It is about as easy as it can be.

And get rid of that heatshrink tubing splice and just run a 3/8 transmission cooler line the full length. Faster install and looks better.

CRAP! Wish I had thought of that. Even with the heatshrink I still had to wrap some electrical tape around it to make it look decent.
