Excellent video, Fred. For anyone that is contemplating doing this yourself Paul's video is a pretty clear walk through the disassembly and assembly of the transmission. I would also encourage you to download the Tremec service manual from their website or one of their Tremec Authorized reseller websites.
The job is not rocket science stuff but there is a lot of detail you need to be aware of and attentive to. The Service Manual will hit those details and Paul's video will show you the actual process being performed in real time.
If the job seems to be a bridge too far, give it to a transmission shop that is familiar with and services your particular unit. If you do it yourself disassembly organization is key to proper reassembly. Keep assembly parts bagged and tagged or otherwise contained together for easier assembly.
You might want to get some replacement needle bearings. If you are like me, I always somehow loose one or two rollers even on a flat table with retaining walls to prevent parts from falling to the floor. I always find the lost bearing after the particular transmission component is fully assembled and installed. Extra's are a godsend.
