I made the 3-5-R drum holder from a pair of old Vice grip clamps and a steel band. and I use a large worm clamp for pump alignment same as 4l80 tool. It works perfect and cost $3.00 at the hardware store.

doesn't look much bigger, but I honestly haven't measured one either. BTW I have used a stick of tig wire to hold the 3-5-R Drum assembly while easing it down.

Hell yeah!!! LMAO! I would also recommend anyone that goes into these transmissions to pull the pressure relief spring and ball out and re-seat the ball with a brass drift punch. Re-seating it provides more precise pressure relief from what the spring is rated for. I have seen a couple of seats nicked from the machining process which would let fluid bleed off earlier than it should.

I guess.... it's in the pump cover. it's between the TCC control valve and the converter feed limit valve.
