Great advise about soaking in hot water, it took a lot of prying and pushing to get one in there with out soaking first. I think that would help a lot.

What a difference it made!! My old 400e made a hell of a racket especially when I accelerated hard. I thought there was an issue with the tranny! The replacment (actually adding since the old one was completely gone!) eliminated all the sounds.

Mike, you are the man, after reading about your 'projects' really puts the rest of us weekend DIY'ers to shame!! We don't do nothing in comparison.
