do i want to put the shims at the tpo by the piston or at the bottum and would it be better to use softer or harder springs

[brian89gp]

You use the same springs, thats the whole idea of the shims. The shims are 2" OD washers, I would start with 2-3 in each accumulator then go from there. When you take the accumulator apart, they go down inside the hole.

I used, and recommend a .5" stack of washers in each cylinder. I would actually add one more washer to the 1-2 also. And yes, put the washers on the BOTTOM of the assembly (not where the cap goes on).

[eurolumina92]

so it will go cover piston spring washers right in that order

[dykz34]

No. There isn't a "piston" per-say. From the bottom up, there will be: washers, springs, center pin/rod, and cover. I believe there are pictures of this on Brian's website. www.brian89gp.com

Very last picture.

so that takes care of the 1-2 shift and the 3-4 shift what about the 2-3

[brian89gp]

1-2 and 2-3 are together, they are in the same housing. 3-4 you have to take the tranny halfway apart to get to.
