I own a shop, and can tell you it is a hard job, and requires several tools that most mechanics don't have. You will have major problems with the Teflon seals inside on the shaft. I would rate the difficulty of this job on a scale of 1-10 a 9. I won't question your ability as I don't know you, but there are several books on the market that even comes with a video. Try contacting www.summitracing.com/ as they carry all kinds of how to books and videos. You won't find any links that will carry the how to part unless it comes attached with a price. You can also contact a company named Dayco or TCI and either one would point you in the right direction as far as instructions and parts for that matter.
Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!

well on this one i would agree with red. if your not sure or have never rebuilt a transmission before this is the wrong one for you to start on. Having once been a manager/rebuilder at a transmission shop I can tell you that there are alot of little peices and parts that can be installed wrong. most transmissions will only take up half a rebuild bench, were as this one will take the hole thing up. there's a multitude of clutch packs and seals that will have to be replaced, untop of check balls in the valve body that have to go back in the exact same spot. these transmissions are not like the old 2 speed powerglides or the dyno flows that i started with when i first started to learn..... but if you are bent on trying to rebuild it yourself, find or ask someone that you know that has rebuilt them before to help guide you through it. just incase you get yourself in a bind. good luck to you

Is that a car part? Be careful, and committed before you start. I once attempted to re-build a two-barrel carburetor for a 65 Mustang, and stunk at it. When I finally went to the auto shop and bought a re-built carburetor, the shop owner told me that he really shouldn't even except the one that I worked on as a core. He took it anyway, I had been a regular customer and we got along pretty good, but it is something that you should keep in mind. Of course you may have much better mechanical skills than me. I never seemed to finish a project like that with out having parts left over.

If you don't have the training then walk away, put down the wrench and walk away
