You need to know precisely what problem(s) you are attempting to solve before you install any of the kit components. At least that is what my "experimental data" suggests.

The concept known as a "test drive" comes to mind.

what is done to a transmission on a bench? Lots of guessing?

Well, most Transmission guys don't have advanced degrees from Cambridge.

They drive the car, they hopefully listen to the customer and ask questions. They rebuild and install kits, in a half assed method in respect to MB transmissions in my experience.
