I believe its a very early install part, so basically it will be at the end of what comes out. Teardown, and while you're in there you may as well put at least clutches and seals, and whatever else it needs.
Or just go get one that works.

I really don't want to get into a total rebuild at this point.
Its not too bad, but the transmission does have to come out.
remove the valve body
remove the OD band servo
remove the front pump
remove intermediate clutches
replace the OD band
install the OD band servo and make sure it engages the band
install intermediate clutches
install front pump
install valve body
reinstall transmission.

Beats a tail shaft swap. That said, I'll stick to rebuilding on sticks (pun intended).
The ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.
The ones who accomplish nothing, are the wise who know when to quit.
Sounds full of nope to me. You forgot the dance steps and the number of chickens that must be slaughtered for the ceremony to appease the automatic transmission deities.

Oh god, Khead, if only it was that easy. You forgot the reputable trans shop part. Rebuilt does not mean it's a quality rebuild or that it will last just as long as any other rebuilt transmission. I know of a good place but it's 40 or 50 miles away from me. I'll still go there.

Not sure if Scott's friend Brian is still doing transmissions on the side but he's a fair bit closer to you than GA is. He did the AOD in my Towncar and it works very well indeed.
