Amazing how much little goopy stuff you will find hanging out in nooks and crannies. Most of a Saturday is more than enough time to do a thorough clean and inspect.

Sounds good, but not for me.
I took one shot at rebuilding a manual and automatic transmission. Never without experienced help.
There are some things you can have some stuff left over when you are done and it still works fine, like maybe a vacuum cleaner. A transmission is certainly not one of those.
If I am working on something for the first time and a part(s) fall out unexpectedly it is always an O-s##t event. Sometimes it is logical where that part belongs that was not the case with a transmission. Even when that has not happened, I would pick up a part and not be any way near sure
where it should go.
