Pretty simple. just un bolt the drain bolt. let it drain. the easiest way to fill it back up is taking the shifter out and pouring it in through there. It should take 30mins or less. Put some good fluid in it, and be ready for nicer shifts. o and it's 3650, not 3560 if i'm thinking right. good luck. i'll look for a how to on it.

You should get a haynes repair manual. All the info you need on your car is in there.

the gasket crap will come off, place the stick in gear, and rock it side to side, it will feel almost like you're breaking it, but you wont, trust me. (If yo do, ur superman). Make sure you have a silicone RTV high temp sealant to reseal the shifter though. Your other option, is to remove the fill plug on the tranny. (Its near the top by the edge of the body) Then you have to get a pump to pump it out of the bottle and into the tranny. It's like a big syringe with a tube on it type thing. It's a real PITA. Make sure you get the factory rubber boot off (I think they're 10mm bolts).
