Thanks whunter, I got impatient yesterday and started putting things together without "reading ahead". I Assembled the clutch packs, brake bands, front cover/pump,
But I was having a hell of a time getting everything lined up to get the cover to seat all the way. Well, I read this morning about soaking the friction disks in trans fluid for an hour! So, I went out, took everything apart again and have them soaking. I saw your comment this morning about replacing the seals. I've been lazy about making a tool to compress the springs, but it looks like it must be done. It'll force me to slow down and be more thorough in replacing every Teflon seal and o-ring. I've been trying to take pictures along the way.

Thanks for the help. I'll check in again to let you know how it's going. Especially when trying to get all the disks and plates lined up to install the main shaft into the housing.
