Question Transgo jr

I installed a transgo jr this weekend but i had one problem. The instructions say that one of the solonoids would have a different colored o-ring both mine were green. It seems to drive fine but if they were backwards what would happen?

I notice on the 07.5's and Newer they seem to be the same, what year is your truck? If there was any problems, you would probably have notice already.

You probably won't notice any difference, but your trans will hold more.

It does shift just a little harder but not drastic.

How difficult was the install?
Would you recommend a novice do-it-yourselfer attempt it?
I consider myself very handy and I have lots of tools, but I have no mechanical training. I'm still debating if I can do this.

One more question...
After draining the pan and cracking open the VB, how much ATF did she take to re-fill?

Thanks!
