Jay, while I thoroughly enjoyed your step-by-step slide show, my only concern is all of the warnings about small parts falling into the transmission case.
In my shop, mentioning these types of mishaps aloud nearly always causes them to happen. Hopefully merely reading about them in here will not 'cause' them to happen in my shop! ):
