Luckily, I haven't removed the OD unit yet. I was actually afraid to
:-) But I do realize this has to come off. In the factory manual I am
looking at it says:
Remove the nuts and spring washers securing the overdrive unit to the
adaptor flange, and carefully withdraw the overdrive unit.
These instructions left soooooo much to the imagination. I am being
very cautious on the fact there may be little itty bitty parts that
decide to fly in all directions :-)
