Always wondered what happened here…..

1st...
I don't know **** about transmissions

my question is, the 2 springs circled are they bent or broken?

The reason I ask is all the damage is contained to one half.

That makes me think something is not setting flat during use. Perhaps a worn out part that helps maintain centering / leveling of the mating parts.


If the 2 springs circled are leaning have they lost temper from excessive heat?


Just some thoughts.
