Broken L/R servo spring

Never seen a broken cushion spring but most likely just fatigue from age. Does the SK kit send a spacer to block the cushion spring? The TF2 kit does. It's a good mod. Helps eliminate 1-2 shift overlap. If the kit you have doesn't supply a spacer make one.

Good luck. Most of the time the higher pressure from the shift kit will finish off a worn out trans. in short order. I liken it to putting a band aid over gun shot wound and expecting it to heal up.

Im kinda curious as to what it does. I have the torqueflight book (with the A body Cuda launching) probably explains it in there. Been a while since I read through it.

Its a TF-2, and came with a spacer. I just pulled a cushion spring from a 518 I have. Stiff lil spring that's for sure. Interestingly 1-2 shift wasnt a problem, it was nice and solid. But the 2-3 shift, lots of overlap and now flair-up. Also very temp sensitive, hot it'll shift @35 cold it won't shift until 42-45 depending on throttle pressure.

At this point it takes quite a bit of throttle to get a flair, unless its between shifts. I was hoping the shift kit will shift it quicker and reduce heat. That in combination with Type F, Im hoping holds until I can get the 46 built. I left the 2-3 ball out so hopefully it slams into 3rd lol. Id rather that then flair. All the other seperator orifices I drilled to 3/16 I believe. Basically whatever sizes between street/strip and race.

Pan didn't have a whole lot of material. Definitely some sludge buildup. Although the magnet was plump full :/. Idk see what happens.
