If you do the entire kit you have to pull the valve body. Don't be afraid of doing that though. Pay attention and take your time it will be easy. You can do K1 and K2 with the valve body on.


Bob I will add to your reconditioning thread if I see anything needed. I have rebuilt 2 of these transmissions in the last 4 months including superior kits so I got a pretty fresh picture of it all.
