Can I pull the valve body out of the old tranny and put it in this one? How hard is it to pull the valve body? Im guessing a hell of a lot easier than pulling the whole tranny. Kickdown cable unplugged? You mean the wire to the kickdown solenoid? I have it unplugged right now, does same thing plugged in.
