[V8] Warning from the Audigods!

[NIck Miller]

Yea, taking a valve body apart isn't the tough part, putting it back
together is.  Honestly, I've done 3 chevy 700r4 auto's and I wouldn't touch
a valve body without a diagram of where all the balls and check valves go.
You can really eff it up if it doesn't go back in.   You could always take a
picture though.

Petroleum jelly is a great tool for putting them back together.  You put
some in where the ball is supposed to go and it doesn't move around or fall
out after that.  very usefull.
