I do not have an issue pulling the trans and rebuilding it if necessary. I will need help, and I have bookmarked a dozen or more rebuild write-ups.

My issue is that I have also seen quite a few posts about people paying for full trans rebuilds just to have the same issue, and it was something else causing it.

I would like to eliminate as many of those as possible, so that I can confidently pull the trans knowing it needed rebuilt.

Thank you all for your input.
