Anyone replaced an auto before?

Hi all. I have a 98 Impreza. The auto is on its way out, and I'm looking at getting a replacement one from a wrecker and swapping it out myself. Has anyone done this before? How much of a prick is it? I'm aware its a pretty involved job, and I'm fairly good with mechanical stuff....but is it a DIY-able job? Or leave it to a shop? Any feedback is much appreciated! Cheers.

its easily doable at home on the drive way .

might need some opinions on matching tq converter and engine to auto etc .

some people say that unless the tq converter goes back exactly where it was they have vibration / noise . solution is to unbolt the converter from the flexplate and leave converter on the gbox if you are seperating engine from box

but if you are replacing the g box you dont want the old converter filling the new box with crud oil .

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
