I can confirm you can remove the valve body with the trans in the car, in fact it is rather easy. I left the pan empty for a few days to let it catch drips, I didn't get completely filthy as I was removing the VB from the trans.

I found some interesting things. Based on this level of goop how many miles would you say are on the trans?
...

Well I'm glad it encouraged you to do the job yourself.

I don't know if there is a goop : miles ratio! The transmission I took to bits was an unknown sold as spares / junk play thing; I have no history for it other than it was probably stored in the rain with its tail cone upper most...

Will you let us know how you get on with it when you get it all back together?
