make sure there is a spring on the trans end of the cable they like to break alot
and the cable moves smoothly

replace all the thrust washers in the planets and inspect both sun gears for pitting buy a high eneryg front band (diesel)
one of these days I'm going to do a 46RE turotial but I'm usually too busy at work to take the time to snap all the necessary pics

I know this is your field and it makes alot more sense to you than myself What are the chances of any hard parts that need to be replaced? I have found a few places online but i can't seem to find some of the parts that you mentioned. Is there a complete kit like the above or is it just pieced together? Should i be worried about the condition of the OD or converter? I just want to make sure i get all of the right parts as i am planning on rebuilding this tranny myself. How long should it take for a first timer? Thanks

you definatly want to get a replacement torque converter
rebuilt from any reputable supplier I use mostly AXIOM converters
where do you live I can probably point out a transmission shop that can price out a shopping list I can give you as well as help you out with the OD planet dissasembly and reassembly
you city name and I can search for ATRA shops I'm associated with
