Wow, I was expecting everybody to advise this would be stupid to do! Only those allergic to cold/wet would understand...
The "direct" parts, that are probably bad, are way in the rear of the case, correct? Will I have to remove the VB, shift shaft, and stuff under the VB; or will the clutches/drums slip out through the bands once I remove the pump? What about the change to a "mechanical diode" in place of a sprag clutch; is there any "gotcha" there? Does the extension need to come off? Obviously, I would be keeping my eyes closed to all but the fatal problems in there; there is no intent to make this a "rebuild". BP, if you were doing this, would swapping out the bad parts be just a 2 hour job? (I would have to re-assemble the "bad" one enough to qualify as a core.)
PS: I watched a couple of videos on 4R70W tear-down last night, I see there are no special tools or tough procedures; just a lot of parts to keep track of.
