Hey Chris (or whoever can help) -

I'm going to replacing the valve body and the torque converter in my tranny sometime in the next week or two. I was planning on pulling the transmission out of the car to do it. But do I need to? Can I swap these parts with it still in the car?

Hi Mikel,

If you're going to have it out of the car, I would do the valve body and billet L/R piston install on the bench. Much easier this way, IMO.

The billet what now?

Hello guy from lawn guyland,

In your package will be a new billet aluminum low/reverse servo. It's needed for the higher pressure valve bodies, as the OEM cast aluminum pistons are prone to cracking.

It needs to be installed while the old VB is out, and you'll also have to loosen the rear band. Also, the servo is shimmed, and the spring is discarded. Call with any questions. :thumleft: :salut: :wink:
