Default transgo shift kit install help

This does look right to me.


(click on pic for bigger shot)
The piston isnt fully seated in and that spring is way up above the mating surface for the 1-2 accumulator housing. I only have 2 spacers in. Is this right?

Default spacers and springs

personally I never use more than one spacer , And note that unless thats a 93 transmission it should go like this . spring in first then spacer then piston but turned over from the way you have it ,

its a 93 transmition, but the spring is supose to be that high up? the picture in the instructions says that it should go: spacers, spring seat, spring, piston, and then it looks like you put another spring on on piston like i have in the picture, is that right or am i trippin'?

that spring on top of the pistons doesnt look like it could possibly be right to me

It is correct trust me I use this kit every day. It is a little hard to get it bolted to the case but it is correct. How many washers sre you going with? I would start with one and go from there.

its weird huh? the instructions tell you to rebuild it bass ackwards from how you removed it. i dont know if thats right cause the instructions arent infront of me, but if thats how its said in them, then yes. mine hasnt given me any problems at all

I agree with Vince, it is correct, except that I do not use any spacers in all of my builds.
