Winter transmission builds

Agree and I wouldn't have but it was out and I decided to both learn and see what I had while I was swapping it all into a BTE bell case and tail. I appreciate all the inputs and I had a few who have said the same which solidifies my understanding. I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION! lol...Pump mods...There is a smaller orifice in the stator which intersects the passage at 11 o'clock in their video at 14:38. Should the passage be enlarged in the stator tube? Currently mine is only about .040" THANKS!
This is apparently the converter charge circuit and in an earlier portion of the same video they thru-drill it into the center region of the stator to 1/4" ...i'm wondering if my stator tube is slightly indexed off and it's limiting the passage because I ran a welding rod thru to help gage the size.
