How hard is it to replace a 42RLE automatic transmission?

Probably the most common mistake a beginner makes on an automatic is not getting the TC properly seated into the pump before bolting everything back up.
Oh not just beginners have that problem. I cheat, I just stand the transmission on end, drop the converter on, spin it a bit, drops right into place every time.

That's exactly how I do it. I learned it from an old timer when I was just a punk kid.
