I have been bench testing my A type over drive and have discovered a leak between the housing the solenoid mounts to and the case of the overdrive. Removing it looks fairly straight forward but I need to know if I remove the nuts and bolts that hold that housing in place are there any springs/ball bearings that are going to try and fly out of there? I hope to place the transmission nose down on the bench allowing the oil to drain from the overdrive, remove the operating arm from the shaft, remove the solenoid from the housing, remove the bolts/nuts that retain the housing, separate the housing from the OD, clean and reseal the gasket and reinstall. Does this sound right? I don't have the Laycock manual so any advice offered would be appreciated.
