Indeed it is, but this brings up an interesting topic which I would like to explain, if for nothing else but casual conversation. This is the first time for me to rebuild a transmission, but after I get done, I want to understand the entire transmission. I've never really understood any of my transmissions.

After I get done, in my mind I will be able to visualize what's happening in the trans as I shift. The other thing is I plan this to be the last time I go in and tear this apart and rebuild it. I will die before that.

Also good to understand just what it takes to do a rebuild. Today is Labor Day, and I can't help but think about the labor it takes to rebuild one of these correctly. I hope I can understand the Inline 6 at that same level one day, being able to visualize the actual parts in my head to what the engine is doing while I drive. I can kind of conceptually understand that today, but I can't visualize the actual parts as I have never taken one apart.
