RonB, are you talking about the 1-2 servo that is located on the side of the case? I have already left that one out. The 2-3 or "band" servo is located under the valve body in the case. I am wondering which one to leave out, the one "in" the valve body itself or in the case under the valve body. Im asking because it sounds like the spring you are refering to is the one I already left out behind the 1-2 servo located on the side of the case. Sorry to drag out this boaring post, I just dont want to get it wrong and have to fix it laying on my back with tranny fluid dripping all over me. Any help would be great, thanks!.
