Well, I actually thought of these possibilities also...I remember how
closely I paid attention to the reassembly...I just can't seem to figure
out what I could have forgotten!  I guess that the only way to find out
for sure is to just pull the tranny again!  Gee...I can't
wait...uhhh...sure.
 Now maybe I can practice and get as good as Shawn...
I've even got that "bench pressing" the tranny experience!  hehe  ; )
