What is the most difficult part of the removal / install of the Transmission?
If I have an 18" Lift, is that sufficient to do the job?
Dealer thought it was just a small leak at the RMS, but I don't want to have an IMS Failure at 103,000 miles.
18 inches is a bit low, but doable with some effort. The Tip has coolant lines, communications cables, and other appendages (like the oil cooler) that are in the way and make working around the trans a real treat and a time killer. You need to also pull the starter to get at the torque converter bolts, which is also a pain in the butt.

Unless the dealer has a crystal ball, it is impossible to tell what is leaking without taking the car apart.
