Oh yeah, one other important thing, DO NOT LET THE TORQUE CONVERTER COME OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION! Something about the seals between the torque converter and the tranny, if the two are pulled apart you're pretty much done. I saw a new trans assembly on a pallett on the floor in the shop and it had a steel strap running across the face of the bell housing to hold the converter in during shipping. I asked why this was and why they didn't just ship them seperately and that was the reason. It's some kind of one way seal and if they come apart you can't just stick the converter back in, it will not seal correctly again. When you drop your trans you have to make sure the converter comes away from the engine with the trans. Just go slow and lever the converter back into the bell housing as you go.
