The old plate doesn't look too bad. I can always grab one tomorrow when I go to pick up parts. Intermediates have a few hot spots on the steels so might as well replace those. Not to mention piston travel is .115", which is out of spec... Probably drop a TH400 steel in to tighten it up.

You took it a step further leaving off those drum and center support seals in the old kit or the new kit? I saw the oil path in the triple plate, but it looked like a pressure leak so i figured i was missing something. Does the 3rd/rev circuit connected to the reverse circuit not apply the low/reverse band? In the old kit they plug that hole in the separator plate to prevent that pressure leak...
Did you not read the pm I sent you on Saturday?
Question for you before I continue, Vince... I have the valve body that Jake's Performance sent me for my other 2006 trans. It doesn't have steps 4 and 5 from the Transgo instructions drilled into it 
Can I use that valve body? Are there any differences other than the different style EPC? I'd love to be able to use the brand new VB on this trans.

Thanks Vince! No I did not get your PM...I get hounded with lots of them, must have missed it. I will make sure that check ball is in the VB and get it stitched up!

I dunno man...the orifice for that reverse fluid re-route is tiny. With the method Corey posted about, it receives a lot more fluid in reverse. The plate also seems like it might be leak prone as well because reverse line pressure is real high and there's no real seal for that oil passage in the plate aside from just squeezing the plates together.
