Transmission fluid change... 240-260 1979

I'd like to change the transmission fluid in my BW55 3 speed. Some questions:

1. Is this an OK thing for a (something less than) weekend mechanic to do?

2. I understand I need to drop the pan and clean the screen in there. Any advice on this? Is a torque wrench needed?

3. I've been reading the posts on transmission fluids. I assume I need "ATF". Any particulars on that? I assume I need a funnel with small opening to fill through the dipstick?

The car runs and shifts great. But I'm not happy with the fact that I have no record of the last fluid change. So it's time!

Thanks!

Tom
