Mitsu overdrive

OK, the Mitsubishi just broke this morning!  This is a '92 Mitsubishi Expo 
LRV Sport.  1.8L engine, 4 sp automatic.  Top gear is an electric overdrive, 
and therein lies the problem. The car now shifts 1 - 2 - 3 - neutral, and I 
think I caught a whiff of burning electrics.

I can't complain because the car has 194,000 miles on it.  I had the 
overdrive replaced for the same problem, just after I bought the car.  It 
probably only had 65,000 miles on it then, and it was replaced under 
warranty.

How hard is it to replace an overdrive unit on a front engine, FWD, Jap car?  
This is the same engine as the Eclipse, BTW.  Can I handle it in my garage, 
or do I have to pull the engine, etc.  Also, where do I find a cheeep 
overdrive?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, and I'll have a beer in your honor.
