Hi all,
I'm new here, but I was looking over the site and thought that several of you might have some answers to my problem... I have a 1970 el camino with a 700r4, the model number is 4MK122HT. I decided to put a shift improver kit in it (B&M). I managed to take the valve body off but there seem to be only 2 check balls present in the valve body, when the manual explains that there should be three. Also, I removed the 1-2 accumulator housing from the separator plate and found a single piston along with a spring that seemed to be sagging to one side . I continued to take off the separator plate and the remaining check balls. When I pulled the separator plate away from the case, the 3-4 accumulator piston fell out along with the piston -- there was no spring. I looked up into the 3-4 accumulator bore and there was another piston lodged at the back of the bore. First off, I thought there were only supposed to be 2 accumulator pistons, but it seems, in my case there are 3, also shouldn't there be a spring in the 3-4 housing. At this point in time, I am trying to put the tranny back together with the spacers provided by B&M so that it works properly, so any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
