I'll admit I screwed up and cut some corners... the valve body wasn't new, it was used, and it wasn't from a powerboat, but a Miata, but since Joe is my uncle's third cousin's wife's brother's boss he gave me a pretty good deal so long as I stood watch as he removed it from a car that was parked outside while the owner was inside with diarrhea after eating one of Famous Joe's sandwiches.

So I guess the moral of the story is don't buy a used valve body or one of Famous Joe's sun-dried bean and mayo sandwiches.
point taken. I need a zf affiliated shop that knows the ins and outs of these tranny's on the m62.
