Thanks for that, I emailed myself both of those links in case I need to reference them.
Performabuilt sent pretty thorough instructions with the tranny. I was checking them out the other day and they seem to walk you through it step by step. In addition I would imagine Circle D sent something as well though I don't remember. Either way I will be sure to check the tolerances now even if it isn't referenced anywhere on what I bought. Circle D includes shims so that's nice. I've never done an auto trans before so I wasn't aware of the possible need to shim and certainly don't want to discover I need something I don't have halfway through the job.
You think I'm good with approx 22" tall jackstands to get the tranny in and out? It's a fullsize pickup and I don't have access to a lift anymore.

01ssreda4 - I feel like I've never had good luck with it, or that it ever did anything. Besides my rear end fiasco I've used on small things around the house and it just never seems to work. Are you supposed to use a tiny amount or something? I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I feel like it's almost gimmick-y.
