'Little Ball' change in AW 70/71

My '85 245 w/ AW 70/71 is showing signs of "little ball" trouble, esp. now that it's colder--refusing to shift from 1 to 2 until the engine and tranny are warm. I've read the FAQ section on this, and a thread from Aug. '01, but would rather not buy an OEM tranny manual from the dealer for what should be relatively simple. I'm aware that you remove the valve bodies ass'y. and turn it over on the bench before disassembling to get at the ball, as shown in the FAQ. But has a more detailed description of this job been entered on the board anywhere, hopefully with photos? I'm also told there's an online mechanics' site where one can view, for a small fee, the applicable pages. Anyone have this address? I've already ordered a pair of the balls (might lose one!), 1377746, $2.50 ea. from the dealer, and a pan gskt. from my usual aftermarket supplier. Will probably do the job next week. Thanks!
