    Working my winter project, doing the inside of the cab, and I want to pop the top off of my tranny for a visual. Looks pretty straight forward and simple. Clean it off good, put shifter in neutral, pull 8 bolts, lift off and throw away gasket. Good visual and magnet check. Reassembly is making...
