The last step would be to add two packets at the beginning ofthe file containing your new TS: one with Program Association Table(Tranport Stream which should have PID = 0) and Program Map Table(which will have the PID you defined in the Program Association Table)containing the PIDs of the transport stream packets carrying youroriginal video (i.e., the PID  "Y" you choose above).

It is is not so easy. TS packets need stuffing if payload is less
than 184 bytes length, you must set the continuity counters and the
payload_unit_start indicators, PAT and PMT should be inserted
periodically, etc.
An easy way to get a more or less correct transport stream is using Video
