For anyone interested this is a quote from the Diesel Giant site.
"Because I was too lazy to remove the pan to insure the push rod was secured into the B2 piston properly. I got the car stuck in the street in because it would not go forward. Getting 3 of my neighbors to push my car back into the driveway and up the ramps was a little embarrassing. Please learn from my errors."
The below is without revmoving the valve body.
"Looking up into the transmission you can barely see the brake band to the left of the brown plastic piece. You will need to look at this after you install the piston and push rod to ensure the push rod engages the brake band. I did not do this simple step the first time and caused me to do the whole job over."
For more info on that you can go to the site (I am not recommending buying parts there).
I believe I also read back in 2008 where someone claimed that they did not get the Pushrod in the right pisiton and it broke the B2 Band but my memory is ver hazy about that.
Note that in the picture apparently due to the camera angle (?) you cannot actually see the pushrod/dog bone. And I can't remember what I saw when I did the job.
But it is nice to know there is a way to verify without removing the valve body.
Note I edited the original pic trying to lighten the shadow.
