Time to start filling up the input drum with parts.
*whew* That is one tough spring! Alright, that’s enough fun for today. We’ll fill this drum up with clutches on the next post. 41TE Assembly, Pt. IV

after seeing you tear this down I can understand why transmission rebuilds are so expensive.
If the transmission ever goes out in my G35 it’s just getting a low mileage used replacement to avoid all that. So far at 131000 miles it seems to be shifting solidly and the fluid is still clean (knocks wood).

One thing that I’ve learned about rebuilding is that it’s not really hard; it’s just time-consuming to get everything right. The hard part is wrestling it out of and back into the car.
That said, I don’t know if I’d be willing to go through all the trouble of installing a junkyard unit without opening it up and going through it first. Like you said, it’d at least have to be low-mileage...
