Haha I guarantee I could do it much quicker now. But it was my first time every doing it and I pulled all the belts off like a dummy. And the tension pulley that kept them on so it took me extra time to set it all up again. But on a difficulty scale id give it a 2 out of 10. On a PITA scale based off of what I did? 5 out of 10.

Same thing with Crank Position Sensors. First one took me an hour, I just put the old one back in to read the voltage and it took 10 minutes.

That's really not a kickdown cable. It's a TV cable. Throttle Valve. Increases the transmission fluid line pressure more as the throttle is opened further.
TPS tells the TCM the throttle position so it can electronically select the proper gear.
Always a good idea to adjust it as it's very simple to do and increases shift firmness.

Looks good. I'm going to do that myself soon. I hope that's not the same wheel in both pics. If it is , you might want to go and get it balanced.
