Yep, you will need to start by raising the car in the air safely on jack stands because the transmission will need to be removed. Then I would drain the coolant and disconnect the battery, you will need some specialty tools and equipment which I have included. If you get stuck let me know and upload an image of the problem so I can help walk you through it. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
