Same thing I heard from Pat awhile back when I was looking for one for my 904.
I will say though, with the TF2 kit I have zero complaints about the 3-2 kickdown of the A500.
So just to be clear as possible, your VB doesn't have this peice?
Just the steel cover with the 3 screws, but not the little aluminum part behind it?
