The 4T65eHD will need to come out by dropping the cradle and detaching it from the engine. The transmission is not that difficult to rebuild and a complete rebuild kit runs about $100, add in a few more parts like shift solenoids, you are probably around $200. A transmission rebuild is just a parts replacement job but there are lots of parts that need to be put back exactly. If you purchase the rebuild video or rebuild manual it will guide you though the step by step process.
