Glad to see you back.

Trans pretty simple-even I can do it- and some real experts and pros are here to help if you get stuck. Very important thing is the proper tools when replacing bushings so you don't nick, scrape or gouge anything they have to seal against. They (and their corresponding shaft surfaces) are probably the most important yet overlooked pieces in trans when comes to having proper pressures & function. Have a good read thru the service manual on some of the tools needed. Several of them such as spring compressors and locking clamps are easy enough to make and will be needed because some of the springs are vicious.
