It's on the Ford update instructions actually, didn't notice until I looked.

Anyway, did the rebuild today. Started around noon and finished at 7 or so. Took me a bit longer because I misjudged the amount for refill. For the most part I'll give the rebuild a B+. If the instructions gave more detailed info on what each mod did would help a lot. Reasons why certain problems occur would also be of great interest.(ie, why it is flaring on 3rd or slow reverse engagement, etc.) I too did not do the "Pressure Riser" mod with the same idea of 'going back" if it needed to be done. Then again, I have no idea what the hell it does so what's the difference? I won't miss it either way....

Although the instruction for both the Ford and Superior mods were detailed, they were not detailed enough. I found many questionable areas.

I would like to personally thank the engineer that decided to bond the gaskets to the sep plate. Holy crap, that saves some aggrivation!!

Finally, no one can prepare you for the ATF shower that awaits those destined for a VB rebuild.....lol....good luck and may the force be with you.
