Hi Andy,

I dropped you an email about the cooler flush and tools to build.

symptoms of the failing transmission before I found the steel chips and what looks like piece of a spring in the pan:

it started shifting weird but only sometimes... not real bad but something was off so that I started to readjust the control cable which did not help really. Then it went away. This happened a couple if times and I did not know what was going on. As it shifted fine after a while I didn't payed too much attention to it.

There were also a could of weird up shifts that I didn't expect but nothing crazy.
Went away.

Then the car didn't want to pull off a start easily, Torque converter didn't engage as it should I guess... maybe chips in the oil flow restricting something.

This was getting a bit better but not 100% and I decided to change the oil when I found the chips.

Happy to see you valve body video soon.
I love how you handle the job of the transmission repair without throwing a ton of tools and equipment at it.

Martin
