You can install it either way. If you find the 1-2 shift to firm after the Band Seats, You can always put it back the factory way.

Here's some info to make this easier to understand.

Valve Body Gaskets, Separator plate, 2nd Accumulator, Aux Valve Body.

Use '88 & up Auxiliary VB gaskets with TransGo 700-P Plate ONLY, Even if your running a early Non-Aux trans, The Late gaskets fit the Plate better.

The Aux. Gaskets are identified by painted stripes in the Gaskets. And the Aux. VB holes

Recheck that the Case Checkballs are in place & correct.

With the 2 home made alignment dowels threaded in the "Z" holes.

Place The CASE gasket on the Case, The Gasket is identified by the letter C cut into the gasket.

Place the Separator Plate on the Case Gasket.

Place the Valve Body Gasket on the Separator Plate, Identified by the letter V cut into the Gasket.

Place the 2nd Accumulator Assembly on top & Start the bolts.

Place the Auxiliary Valve Body on top as well (Install #12 CheckBall on the plate or TransJel it to the Aux. VB), See post above for Checkball location.
Start the Aux. VB to Case bolts.

Valve Body...

It is very important your work area is clean, Any Valve or Valve Bushing needs to be cleaned as well as the Bore it is removed from. I use a Solvent Blow Gun & New Clean Solvent, Blowing Solvent is hazardous to your Lungs.

Always place your finger over the hole a Bushing/Valve is in when removing a Roll Pin, The 700 isn't to bad about this (The 3-2 Spring IS), Just a good habit.

Let's start with the MOST important part (And gives the most issues) The TV Valvetrain.

Remove the TV Plunger Bushing Roll Pin.

Remove Plunger & Bushing, Use the Plunger Valve as a slide hammer to remove the Bushing, Use fingers, Not Pliers, Dykes or any other tool if you plan on reusing the Plunger or Bushing. New "94 Code" Plunger assembly is a recommendation.

Remove TV Spring.

Remove TV Valve Roll Pin. See Pic.
