I’ve never rebuilt a transmission so I’m apprehensive.
How do you get the case to look so good?

I can understand being apprehensive. Most of the assembly isnt too bad. That said you need a press and patience for a few of the learn by doing not by watching tasks. Loading up the cluster shaft with the bearings via some assembly grease and having a undersized pin is a must. When you braing the main shaft and center bearing plate into the main transmission with the gasket can be tedious but not impossible. The best advice is dont force anything and be willing to take something back apart when its not going on right.

In light of all of that as you can see in the pictures I wear gloves to keep my case work clean. Im gonna send you a PM about case prep
