Default 1-2 accumulator

How many are running the stock plastic 1-2 accumulator with a trans-go ? Are these stock ones breaking?

When I put my TransGo in I got rid of the plastic piston.
The pin diameter is different than the old 700R4 aluminum pistons so I put in a 1-2 accumulator piston and housing out of a 700R4. I have a bunch of them, so I could get the thing done.
The 700R4 accumulator is more shallow, it's as deep as the original housing with one transgo shim washer. So I didn't need to use a washer.

When the plastic broke describe exactly how it acted.We just did a transgo in my buddys with 1 washer drilled small 1-2 hole and he already had a vette servo, his has been working spot on.I thought I had an alloy accum. covered,but it was the early style with the large pin. We should go back in and get a alloy OEM or a transgo alloy 1-2 before it breaks.JXAXX has the right idea,old style 700 cover.And ****,I bet i have one or two laying around.

Felt like the tranny was slipping. Would feel like it was taking off in 2nd and begin flaring when you stomped it.

My tranny guy replaced it with the aluminum one when installing the Transgo because of the threat of breakage.

I replaced mine as well.. But now that i think of it, since some of those kits come with warrenties.. doesnt it say as a disclaimer that if anything goes wrong with this kit after being installed correctly that there will be a refund or they will fix the problem? Maybe if you let the plastic break you can get a freebie! lol... nah, might as well replace it while your under there just to get it done the first time and the only time.
