Well I haven't done one as of yet but should not be any harder than a 700R4.

My cost on the solenoids is $136
Rebuild kit $55-70 ($255 or so on Ebay LOL)
Torque converter $60-80 rebuilt (I didn't price it)

Going to do the filter and solenoids first because I can still light the tires up so I suspect that.

I have 3 friends that own tranny shops and the one who I am using told me as long as I pull it....................
I told him then clear the lift because I don't do creepers anymore.

Going to buy another parts jeep this week for the trans and build a modified one for my 96.
The 95 needs a trans right now.

Guy possibly coming to buy interior and trans out of Red 93 today. (So he says he wants them)

Will do, electronic parts should be here tomorrow so I will see if that works first.
I don't think it's shot as I can still do a burnout with it.

Time?????? LOL You don't know my buddy Porky. It's will probably take a week because of all the coffee breaks. (Freebie work takes a backseat to paying customers)

I moved this part of your chat to it's own post you were getting way off topic, plus this might be more useful in it's own thread..

Yeah I hear ya, the 95 is going to become AWD and the 96 will become a part time. I don't need 4 wheel all the time, I know how to drive in the snow. <grin>
