More transmission stuff. Drilled and tapped the valve body piston feed hole. You still have to put the piston in there, along with the E clip, but you can delete the spring. Next is the shift valve before, then shift valve after. Along with the check ball dilled and peened into the exhaust port. Those two mods allow you to hold low gear manually to any speed. Last is the valve body separator plate. Drilled to .125" on second feed and .140" on third.
