You don't even need to hand fly it, at least in the 737
You have got to be kidding me - From 2500 ft with so few track miles, any delay or error is going to well and truly stuff things up.

If you don't practice manual flying skills in these types of approaches, come the time when you really need them, it's all over the place.

Sub Orbital is right - fly it manually - couple of ways to do it, but my technique is about 1200 ft min until it intercepts DME x 3 which puts the a/c exactly on the 3 degree slope for RWY 34.
