[QUOTE="64FJ40, post: 1085982, member: 16057"] Actually, the beauty of this work is that you don't. :redneck: I understand the [I]concepts[/I] behind an auto tranny, but I still don't really [I]know[/I] how it works. In short, once you pull the pan off the bottom, the lower valve body is about 2" thick and held on by about a dozen bolts IIRC. The separator plate is kind of like a 1/16"-thick steel gasket between the lower valve body and the upper part. It's got a bunch of holes in it that act as passages and restrictor orifices. There are also a few steel balls that act as check valves for directional fluid flow. These wear on the stock plate until the hole they're supposed to seal gets big enough that the ball sticks in it, preventing flow in either direction. The shift kit just replaces a bunch of springs and shift servos. It's a fairly in-depth deal, but not hard and I did one a few years ago with absolutely no prior knowledge of automatics. [/QUOTE]
