HELP! A904 skipping 2nd gear.

Well, Fishy called it. The strut was laying on top of the valve body. It looks like everything is totally fine. Nothing is bent or broken.

All of which begs the question: how the hell did it fall apart? Could it be that the band was so far out of adjustment that it came apart? It sure shifted well - felt like you were getting punched in the back of the head when shifting into 2nd.

Oh well, I guess I'll work on getting it back together tomorrow. If anyone has any ideas as to how or why it came apart in the first place I'd like to hear it. I want to do whatever I can to prevent it from happening again.
