I agree. It's broke, what is the worst thing that can happen, you can
break it further?
One thing that I was told to do that helped me get my trans back
together correctly was to use metal coat hangers and string parts of
each assembly onto them as you take the assemblies apart. This way you
can't knock the arrangement of parts out of place by a slip of the hand
(or trans).
Another things is when putting the trans back together use air injected
into the passages where the valve body sits to be sure that each of the
clutch packs/bands work and don't leak air. It wouldn't hurt to try this
before you pull the trans apart to see if there is leakage somewhere
that shouldn't be leaking. (I don't know if there are any transmissions
out there that are SUPPOSED to leak air, so if you find a leak, ask a pro.
I picked up a thin book at my local automatic transmission parts house
which covered the rebuilding of the Borg-Warner trans that I was working
on, including parts breakdown drawings, tolerances and wear limits. It
was really helpful. I don't recall the name of it, but it was a manual
geared for the professional and went by, I think, 4 initials, something
like ATPA, or some such.
Peace,
Pat
