You will have to remove the exhaust crossover pipe, then you can access the thermostat.

The pipe is metal to metal so you don't have to worry about a gasket when your done, but you need to shake the pipe as you are re-installing to make sure that it does seal up and tighten the nuts evenly.

One note, please do not over-tighten the bolts on the thermostat housing, you can crack the intake manifold and that will cost you plenty - take it from experence.

Two repair shop opinions on changing transmission fluid.
When the colour of the fluid changes it's an indicator of old fluid which must be changed. Too many garages rely on diagnostic codes these days instead of using their brains. The same rule applies to power steering fluid as well.
In any case, a fluid change costs peanuts in comparison to the potential problems which can occur when using fluid which is life-expired. If in doubt, change it.
