It's going to be a while, because the transmission suffered internal damage and will have to come out again. I have enough spare parts from the second transmission that I have here. I'm going to try to locate a third parts transmission, so I can get a full handle on what's exactly in the valve body now that I know how to get it apart without springs and check balls flying everywhere. I've found a definite sequence to disassembling the valve body. I can see about getting pictures of check ball, spring, and valve locations, but I've already found that there are significant differences in valve bodies throughout the years. My old one had one more check ball than the one in the parts unit (it was from a 1977 car), and the separator plate was different as well.
