Here are the tips I've gotten from slonik for the install:

-You need to buy Loctite 574 (Gasket Maker) - a single 50mL tube is capable of doing several pans. It looks very liquidy....more than you'd think. Takes an hour to set. (The first time I looked for it, Amazon didn't have it on Prime, but then a couple days later I looked again, and it was available via Prime. Got it next day.)
-The torque spec for the 14 pan bolts is 9 Nm (6.6 ft/lbs)
-Fill the trans normally until the fluid starts backing up. Then, lower the car to the floor. Jack it up as high as you can on the right side and add 1 more liter of trans fluid with the car sitting at an angle.

That's all I know at the moment. I'll let you know how it goes after I visit minicorsa.
