Automatic Trans Rear seal leak? Hard to replace?

Anyone know how hard it is to replace the rear main seal on the automatic trans of a spider. I remember when I bought my car, the PO did say the rear seal has a leak. Now that I've been driving the car I noticed a good amount of trans fluid under the car. A while ago I threw some stop leak in and it seemed to be better but recently when i had the front of the car jacked up, I noticed when I came back in the morning the floor would have trans fluid on it. Is this something a home mechanic without a lift can do or better left to a shop? How much money would a shop charge you think? Thanks.
