Default Missing servo spring?

I'm finally finishing up my tranny rebuild and got to the Servo assembly on the side. When changing out the o rings I noticed that there is supposed to be a big spring on it from the case to the piston. I can't find this spring for the life of me and don't remember one being there. The only other spring that may be it was found in my 2-3 accumulator. I found two springs both purple there when I took it apart.

Should I buy a factory spring for the servo or is it meant no to have one with the kit I have?

The 2-4 Servo Return Spring NEEDS to be installed! There isn't a reason in the world for it to be left out!

Your picture shows the Forward Clutch Accumulator Piston. Those Double Springs DO NOT go there! Those spring look to be the 2nd Accumulator Springs.

You seem to have a real mess on your hands, Any info on the trans at all?? Mods performed??? Shift kit????

To me the piston look too big to be the forward clutch piston ??
The small spring is for the valve body.
As mentioned, the purple spring is likely for the 1-2 accumulator as it seems too stiff for the 3-4 accumulator.
That sure looks like a picture of random parts.

Looks like a Aftermarket Aluminum FWD Piston to me (Tall ****), And the rest of the parts around it go under the FWD Accumulator Cover. (Low Valve & Spring).

Thanks. Gotta get better at recognizing various parts from pictures. Even accounting for perspective, that piston looked bigger than the cover.
