Yes, the filter will come right down without removing anything but the bolts
that hold it on.

Don't forget to remove the o-ring seal that is around the tranny filter
tube. Most likely it will slide off the tube when you remove the filter
and remain in the journal the tube came out of. If you leave it in
there and use the new o-ring as well, the pan may not fit back on
properly and restrict oil pick-up. I wouldn't re-use it either.
