Sonnax valve Installation

All, I wanted to get some feedback on the ease or difficulties of installing a Sonnax valve on my 2000 PSD. I’ve always considered the transmission a "Pandora’s Box" and shied away from any work related to this part of the vehicle. I wanted to solicit some opinions from those “Do it your-self-ers” who have added this upgrade to your truck. How difficult was it to install, were the directions easy to follow and complete..etc.. Any and all information including the best price and place to purchase this item will be great help.

Some call it a six-pack; I call it a support group.

Agreed on the Easy part, was very simple to do, I got mine from Black Cloud , one of our sponsors, delivered to the door for 50.00, looks like they are still going for that rate. Instuctions where very clear imop, I did mine in about 3 hrs from start to finish, including a 20 minute test drive and cleanup. One piece of advice is to lay a tarp or something underneath because it is going to get messy.
