Does anyone recommend any good transmission rebuild books? I currently have my T45 completely apart in my basement and I'm trying to figure out what needs to be replaced and what I can keep. There doesn't seem to be many online resources or maybe I'm just bad at Googling. Anyways, if anyone has some recommended literature or videos I'd love to learn more about the rebuild process. Thanks!

I know this is late but I was able to find a Ford service manual for it. Not sure if I can post it so feel free to DM me and I'll send it to you. Eventually I took it to a family friend who owns a transmission shop and he was able to help me out. I ended up just buying a new TR-3650 because the T-45 was beyond repair.

Rebuilding them is sometimes more expensive than just getting another.
