hope you have a service manual, dont lose the intermediate clutch spring and seal that will fall out when you drop the valve body. (if you have a 00-02 or an early 03)
You will need some trans assembly lube to hold in place when you put the valve body back up. Fun part is finding where it came from, look at in relation to where it is on top of the valve body when you take it down that will help you pinpoint where it goes.

If I can, I'll make a couple of other suggestions. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!! Then when you think you have everything spotless, clean it again! The tinest piece of lint from your shop rag can hang a valve. A clean re-assembly on an automatic transmission is critical!
There is another good alternative to the assembly lube LincolnTech38 suggests. Use Vasoline. I've used it for many, many years on the trannies I've rebuilt and it's been flawless. It holds and lubes things well and dissolves the instant heat and pressure hit it. (remember...it's PETROLEUM jelly) I use it for everything I assemble where the lube has to dissolve immediately. Good stuff!

Fun! Fun! Fun!
I think I might need Glasses. Found the seal so now I no where the New spring goes. The new spring and Seal is one peice so I did not need Vasiline to hold in place. Got everything together now just hve to Torque the bolts down, Fill er up annd as Willie says On the Road Again!
