Been looking but haven't found one: Tranny oil change walkthrough/how to
Is there one here that I've just been missing? Or since I've never done it before myself I should just take it to the dealer?

Super Easy, pull plug, let it drain, put plug in, pul fill plug, Put ATF +4 in to the top of hole, then put plug in. Done! I use a gun that looks like a grease gun, but has a hose at the end, there are better tools out there but this works for me. Just put hose in can, pull handle, put in trans and push handle, can be messy at times but does the job, should take 15 minutes to do. On the big Allen head plugs, just get the right size bolt head and use a Vise Grip pliers. Allen wrenchs that size can be pricey.

Word of advice -- Make sure you can get the fill plug loose before you pull the drain plug. I do not know if it happens on Dodges but on Toyotas sometimes you cannot get the fill plug out.
