There is quite a bit to it. Greg over at FactoryTech can lead you in the right direction. I have gaskets and check ball location diagram on the way so I will post what it is like in a few days. Here is the link that I posted last week.

I seriously don't reccomend doing it unless you have to, it's pretty advanced stuff if you've never worked on transmissions before. There is a steel plate under the valve bodies that seperate them from the wormtrail in the case, a paper gasket goes on both sided of this seperator plate. Under the seperator plate are 8 or 9 or 14 checkballs (model dependent) at least one screen, sometimes two, and a TV EPC spring with a regulator check ball on it, all of which needs to be held in place while upside-down to replace it (use vasoline if it gets that far). The gasket will not stick most of the time, unless you've had water in the transmission, in which case it's a serious pain to get off, and you cannot use a metal scraper, it's very sensative to getting gouged, you'll have to use a plastic or bronze scraper.

If you MUST do it, shoot me an e-mail and I'll get you a care package together to help, with diagrams etc...
