No I think he's referring to the servo's on the ends of the bands. I would say NO, not at home, even taking the pan off you get covered in oil.

Gradual loss of reverse, the servo is on the side of the tranny. More slipping than clunking now i think of it.

Where was that quoted? I'd like to service mine but it isn't something I fancy doing myself just yet.
