You'll be fine with it. Look thru the Chapter on tools and see if you can fill that bill. If you have, can make, borrow or fabricate what is needed then accomplishing the task becomes much easier. Folks are simply scared to death of automatic transmissions mostly because of the valve body and related components. I will admit that it is pretty intimidating when you remove the valve body and see all those passages where the fluid flows and check balls falling on the floor! Once again a TH400 has a good set-up there as well and about all you'll be working on in the VB is modifying or replacing the 1-2 shift valve if you want full control of the 1-2 upshift. Otherwise it just gets a good cleaning and put back in place right before buttoning things up unless you are installing a shift "kit", and even then that's not much more than removing a few valves and replacing the springs on them........
