Default Shift kit install and help please

http://www.geocities.com/foff667/98Camaropg4.html anywayz im attempting to do a write up on the TCI shift kit because of "ease" of installation, cough, i ran into just a few snags along the way and one that made my night end not so well. My first snag as you may have already read was with i guess its the 1-2 accumulator housing cuz i couldnt figure out how to get it apart once i wacked it with a rubber mallet it fell apart and i was good to go...the only thing was according to the instructions there shouldve been a spring on top of the spacer plate which there wasnt and one in the housing which there were actually two...one small inner and one larger outter...i figured id go halfass by the directions take out both and install the one supplied spring which was shorter than the stocker...please correct me now if im wrong in doing so. The picture they supplied of the "pump" was kinda retarded cuz the way they put it it sounded as if you take out the pump and then take it apart...no big deal though just thankfully i had the right snap ring pliers to get up in the cubby hole to get those and get out what i needed now heres where im confused...i buttoned everything back up thought i did at least and now the car wont go into gear..no clunking or nothing did i not hook up the cable inside the tranny right? I hooked it up before i had teh valve body completely sinched down so im just assuming it wiggled itself free and i just didnt notice it in my wearyness lol. Anywayz if all works out well tomorrow im gonna drop the pan hook that crap up right and be done with it woo hoo.

Bill,
There is a trick to it...you have to install the linkage hook before you install the valvebody. It's easy after that. Let me know if you have any more problems.
