A904-30Rh Fresh Rebuild. No 3rd gear, Please Help

It has a good 1-2 shift; right? That eliminates the 1-2 spring as a problem. And how does the kd lever feel? About right? Did you put all the springs on the correct end of every valve? That stupid picture shows a spring and ball on top of the kd valve. What is your direct clutch clearance?


1-2 shift was smooth as glass really couldn't feel it happen. I had 0% knowledge with kickdown or how it worked but I think I just figured it out. Swapped the springs around and I'm noticing something that feels right and I hope its right please verify this with me.

The kick down valve when I use to push it in, it would stay in. Now I have swapped springs around and the kick down valve pushes back out so it can actually be controlled by the kick down lever now.
