Transmission is out and disassembled.

It looks very clean everywhere so far and very little sludge in the pan after all the driving.

New valve body installed, Working on the shift lever tap mod on the new shaft. I have the new pawl as well (so thankful we had these brand new parts on the shelf all this time).
Currently geeking out on how the parking lock assy works. It appears the lock, spring, and gear are in perfect shape, but the lock does not depress completely into the gear with the pawl. The old pawl did have a bearing defect so I'm hoping that was why it had been sticking in park.


I'll get to the the seals, clutches and torque conv this week.

Hoping to not hit many snags, but I will expect the unexpected.....
