well pull the valve body from my tranny to start the rebuild process, separator plate is trash, but i had a question about a bushing or whatever is it is that is on the plate, im gonna post a few pics below to show what it is

also, on replacement, should i use an OEM plate and drill the holes out for the HD2 kit or order the Transgo plate and be done with it?

 

well, figured out that it is is a check ball seat, pretty much a band-aid in my opinion for not replacing the plate

 

That one looks like it was modified for a shift kit already. I think that's for a relief valve or something along those lines.

Get a Trans Go plate. There thicker and not much if any more then a stock plate.

You could also go with the torlan check ***** on a new stock plate as there less likely to damage the plate since there of an elastomer rubber material.

 

Just get a transgo plate.its harder and doesn't have that issue

 

the tranny has the hd2 kit now, besides the worn check ball seats in the plate, the 1-2 accumulator spring broke and dug into the plate pretty bad in that area
