Good for you! Many will not venture to try something like that, but as you found, it is not difficult. It is messy, but hey! I've seen some of the work that "professionals" did and was shocked. Have fun!
It is, im in the cleaning my parts stage at the moment, and waiting for the weather to cool off here before I start. Not the best idea to build something like that when your sweating the whole time. I know what you mean, I've watched a youtube channel called Precision Transmission, and it really shows you how simple transmissions actually are. But also shows you how some people who spent thousands to have there trans built only to have them fail down the street. Or the ones that got it rebuilt for $500! You get what you pay for.
