I'll try to get a definite answer on what's going on with the solenoids and the 3-4 shift.

In the mean time is there anything that can be done to check the servo is ok (would it give a code?), or should we just try putting in another servo and see if that makes a difference?

*EDIT* Update...confirmed solenoids are firing in right order, maybe it was a misunderstanding before or he is back tracking but all gears are working. Was told the shift into 2nd and the 3-4 shift is working but it is very faint. No debris in pan/filter. Was suggested maybe spot welds on the band gave out. Anyone ever encounter that issue???

 

You said in an earlier post that he eliminated a spring from the 1-2 accumulator. If he left it out, this would be why your 1-2 shift feel has turned to mush. I got your PM. PM returned.

Looks like it is the band.
I hope that is all that is damaged when it's pulled apart.

Pretty sure that the issue would be the band when I found out the servo cover depressed almost three snap ring widths! Not a good sign! Get it out and bring it over.
