Just understand that if your tranny has high miles, you do run the risk
of having a leaky tranny by switching to synthetic at that point. FYI
only..

Simply drain and fill. (Don't forget to put the drain plug on or it will
take ALOT of fluid to fill the thing. 
Also, Don't be like the quicky oil change places, if you have the time,
let the tranny sit for a while to drain so it ALL comes out. The
remaining fluid will mix with the new synthetic but wont hurt it. By the
time you change the fluid again, it should be pure synthetic in there.
Not that this makes any real difference or anything. 
HTH!!
