The automatic transmission is the auto tranny, its the slang word. As for how much it costs, it depends on where you go. Judging from your auto tranny question, I think advising you to do it yourself is maybe a stretch.

Try some of your local Jiffy Lube like shops. They change the oil and transmission fluid. I would advise using nothing but synthetic oil and transmission fluid. If you do use the synthetic, watch for oil leaks and if you do have them, switch to high mileage blend of oil/synthetic oil. Its a little thicker and seals better to prevent the leaks.

The plugs....anyone can do that. If you can turn a socket wrench, you can change a plug.
