Default 700r4 question

I bought the b and m lock up kit for my 700r4 and when I went to remove the spring in the vavle body like the instructions said to I found I didn't have the spring the instruction says to remove. I circled in red what I pulled out of the vavle body and now I do not know if I am missing parts or not. What is circled was the only thing that came out. If it is all ok what do I do instead since I do not have the spring? do i just go out about wiring it up like the instructions says. Never messed with a 700r4 so this is confusing the hell out of me

yes because the lock up is controlled by voltage the speedo switch just completes the circuit you should not have to do any vb mods
