WITTRANS.com has a good exploded view of parts. Between that and the FSM, it was not too difficult.

I bought a gallon of brake cleaner, and got one of these from Summit:

Make sure you keep everything clean.

Couple members here that have never been inside an auto have rebuilt theirs. If you look in the faq section, there is a trans thread by J415 with links to walk thrus and such, plus some other good resources.

If you have the time, tools, and place to do it, GO for it!

Did it damage the shaft? Where did the shavings go? I think there is a 23 spline and a 26 spline iirc. They may have given you the wrong TC.

well, I dont know where all of it went but, there were pieces in the pan and the front pump bushing behind the pump seal spun. So, changed the pump also. new seal. so far so good. just hope the tranny lasts a year or till next spring. going to upgrade it then. My trck is a 95 170000 360 mag but I love my trk. You guys talked about plentum gaskets. My trk smokes like hell upon start up in the morning only. Oil seeping in from the plentum? I didnt know they had that problem. I guess Ill address one problem at a time lol. Thx for all the imput you guys on here are an asset to the dodge community.

Remove throttle body and peek down inside with a flashlight and a small mirror. Look in the corners. If oil is pooling, plenum is blown. It wll also clog the cat and can lead to cracked head.
