I didn't take pics--not doing 'how-to' b/c so many people know so much more than me.

Can't recommend any fluids, don't have enough experience w/ the different types. I threw away bottles so can't so exact type of trans fluid I used. I did read around about it, & from what I understand, most trans fluid brands are ok as long as they match your owner's manual, so I use autozone brand, black jug that I think says Dex/Merc, works for GM & Ford. I'm pretty suspect of additives, but have read lots of good reviews about Lucas. So I went w/ cheap trans fluid with good additive. Like I said, the Lucas product was thick, about the viscosity of honey, or thicker.

Its great that the forum has responded to thread, so I just snapped a few 'after' pics that might help clarify. I ordered the TEP combo kit, $89 plus shipping.

This is the Lucas product I chose. Lucas makes several.

In this pic, I laid out the pieces so that the OE parts that I removed and replaced w/ new from kit are in the left column--2 springs, 1 spacer plate and 3 o-rings--there is 1 small o-ring on the white paper in bottom left that goes in servo (the one I removed looked identical and in perfect condition). The kit also comes with a new filter, but no pan gasket.

On top of the box are the plastic ZZP shims that I previously installed and a scrub pad that came w/ TEP kit. Below the box are the 2 parts I could not install; the filter seal & the servo o-ring.

In the right column is the instruction sheet w/ the parts that can only be installed if you do more than just remove pan. Instructions for those parts are on the back of the sheet.

The last pic is a closer view of instruction sheet. Its really just a pictorial, no real instructions come with it. Just take it apart, and compare whats there w/ whats in the instructions. The springs are color coded w/ a strip of paint, its pretty straight forward--replace o-rings w/ new, replace 2 of the springs w/ new, add 3 new springs & 3 new METAL shims.

Hey, for me, just dropping the trans pan was scary the 1st time, but do it. The $150 I spent on kit & fluids beats anything a tranny shop would tell me. I won't be brash & say its like a brand new trans, but its truly night & day difference.

Good luck! Enjoy your ride!
