Ok guys Im doing it today finally . I dropped the pan already cleaned the pan drilled the hole for the drain plug set the magnets. Now the fun part . Before I remove the valve body I want to make sure I remove everything that needs to be removed. I know that I need to disconnect the shift linkage but if someone could clarify that a little more for me I would apreciate it. Also I only see two sensors the input and output below that I see some wire harnesses but no sensors. I just dont want to end up breaking shit by pulling it with something connected. Thanks in advance guys.

sand the hell out of the shift rod from the engine bay with some really fine grit sandpaper. i had a hell of a time trying to drop my valve body because there was a liiiittle bit of dirt on that rod, and was getting hung up. as for disconnecting the stuff from the rod, there is just one or 2 bolts you need to undo that are connected to that rod, that hold the shift linkage to it.

there should be 1 or 2 electronic connectors that you disconnect from the tranny in the engine bay as well.

This is what I have thus far do I need to remove any other
sensor other than the one I show as removed.

Also the car is in neutral at the moment will that work or
should I put it in first.

yea, it looks like youve got all the sensors.  you should
really clean up the shift rod though.  i thought i did a
decent job on mine, and it was reaaaally tough to get out.  i
cleaned it up once it was out and it went back in no problem. 
you may want to have a friend just watch from above to make
sure nothing gets hung up.  

good luck!
