I just viewed this part of the series on Discovery channel.
The overhaul of the overdrive was done by a specialist firm with use lots of
special tools.
Basic functions were explained very well, but Mark really left the work to
be done by guys who do understand this special work.
The film showed nicely how gearbox and o/d were assembled and mounted into
the car though.
Cheers,,
