Interested to know myself
I wouldn’t have Ford do it. I’d take it to a reputable performance shop if your not capable. The trans is actually quite easy. The rear can be a pita. Only way to do it is pull the cover, re-seal, and fill. May as well do diff bushings at the same time jmho.

Bet is cost alot..500 plus to do right. .
I never touched my trans fluid other than filling when I had front cover off for to sleeve@40k in 04..
Rear can be done in car but best if center was pulled and cover had a chance to seal 24hrs before fluid was added..in car it drips so long..
With rear being worked on fuel filter should be done than being it will be easy with rear moved..
Along with upgrades if that's a plan.
I only did front sub frame bolts and front of different bushings and rear inner toe link and rod...
Jacking these up is easy..drive up on boards to raise car..

Transmission should be 1 hr or less to drain and fill plus cost of fluids.
if you're going to change the rear end fluid (which is a waste IMO), you might as well install the FRPP diff cover.
some people claim a service interval of 150k for the rear, others say it's lifetime unless it gets submerged in water. my dad has an old f250 with an international diesel...has had at least 3 engines, but never had the rear end oil changed. truck has over 1 million miles on it.

Transmission is easy. Pull the drain plug, drain fluid, reinstall drain plug. Remove your shifter, pour in 4 qts of your favorite ATF fluid through the top of your transmission. Reinstall shifter. Done. Diff fluid is a different story as you can see from previous posts.
