Thank you. I appreciate that. I really took my time on this one.

This was my reasoning for not throwing a cost number out. I know exactly what I paid for parts, but I didn't track the countless hours I have into:
Research
Chasing parts
Cleaning
Assembly
and so on...

That's gotta be worth something, right?

You're exactly right nobody ever thinks of all the pouring over details and the amount of cleaning that has to go into cleaning a transmission for a rebuild. It's a lot of work and it would be more expensive for a person to do the work, than a shop, but you typically won't get the attention to detail that you would get or make sure the parts that you specify went in. I commend you for your documentation and details on this build. I would like to pick up another drivetrain and do the same, and I am sure that I will follow along with your build as a guide along with the materials. I haven't built an automatic transmission before so this will be a learning exercise for me.

Thank you for posting the details.
