Just an update Dave, Removed the tranny today and have disassembled it - good thing I did, found metal shavings in the reverse servo and various other places - speed sensor.. (would have sucked to ruin your good work on the valvebody with that crap).. The good news, all of my planetarys and gears look brand new - haven't found so much as a chip anywhere. I start reassembly in the morning. Looks like the hardest part is going to be just getting it back in...was a pain w/o a lift. Quick ??...Should I add transmission fluid to the new torque converter ya sent me? Looks like it has some in it already, But I've read you need to add a quart before assembly.
