I wouldn't get any of those.
You don't need any valve body parts, maybe not even the gaskets that come in a kit. You might have to reuse your old valve body gaskets or contact the manufacturer for some gaskets.
If it were my transmission I'd got to www.bulkpart.com and get a gasket set (they call it a overhaul kit, it includes all the gaskets, sealing rings, etc) and seperate clutch plates and bands. Sand your steels.
Save a whole bunch of money by not buying stuff you either don't need or can't use.

If you want a "complete" rebuild kit, go to http://www.700r4l60e.com/store/custo...&cat=22&page=1 This will give you everything you need. By the way, if you are going to sand the steels, use 600 - 1,000 grit and sand for a mirror finish, you do not want them rough. If I can be of help, let me know?

Be careful.....I bought the TCI or B&M once(can't remember which) and found out all the parts were exactly the same as any factory rebuild kit you can find on ebay, just in a fancy box and twice the price. This was for a TH350, but I'm sure the TH400 kits will be the same way. Before you spend more for a "performance rebuild kit" compare the contents to the factory kits to verify you're actually getting something for your $$.
