Re: 98 teg auto
Never done it on a Honda, but there are a thousand writeups on how to do it from domestics to the semi-popular Toyota units (the truck guys run the same base trans as IS300, and have a lot more DIY trans tech, FYI).
I figure a transmission pressure diagram and some common sense could do wonders, you might want to see if you can find a writeup on auto trans theory for a TH350/400 before you take a crack at it tho.

Re: 98 teg auto
Every time I've seen someone work on an auto trans (domestic or import), they almost always change/remove the springs from the shift accumulators, and very little else. They're basicly springs that dampen pressure (mostly for shifts), and most people replace them with solid cylinders of steel/aluminum. The problem is nobody really works with them. I know a FEW people do, but none here. Maybe MistaBone knows someone.
Besides that, a trans oil cooler will help more than almost anything. NOTHING will save an overheated auto trans, unless you **** pure liquid nitrogen. The stock rad's cooler will only get you to 150F at the lowest (with no load), but a huge front-mounted unit can get you more than halfway to ambient, even with a heavy load.

Re: 98 teg auto
The rule of thumb when shimming accumulators (the most popular method of increasing pressure) is to compress the spring, measure the total compressed height, and shim it, not to exceed 1/3 of the total compressed spring height. Works on damn near everything.
Automatics arent voodoo people. Suspension is, however....
