Re: Valve Body Gasket Replacement Parts
I was able to tackle the project yesterday finally. Thought I would update.
I would recommend at least jacking the vehicle up and placing it on stands, or driving up on some ramps. I can't tell you the number of times I could have used even 2" of extra clearance, but would have liked 6.
The whole project was completed outside, on concrete driveway in 18 degree weather, which made it harder than it needed to be. Because of the temp, I was trying to get it done quickly, and forgot to line up the post with the spool, only to realize it after torquing everything down, and refilling with fluid. (The result of which was, regardless of what gear my indicator said it was in, it was stuck in 1st.) Got out this morning to undo my mistake, and everything is working great now, but what a pain it was.
The result is sooner, much smoother shifting.
