Got damaged AOD, How scrood am I?

[crazypete]

It's been messed with now! =P (HA HA!)

I'm even drilling it! Lets hope it shifts at all after this transgo kit. Something about drilling holes and throwing away parts disturbs the technical side of me.

Last wave of questions then it all goes back together and I'll shut up.

1. I was supposed to find a little spring wedged torwards the top of the planetary gear drum (middle cluster) on the outside, right?

2. With my finger (or hell, prying with a screwdriver), I should be able to effect movement of some kind on the OD band servo (valve thing) , right? The peg that pushes on the OD band notch. It was STUCK. No motion at all. I extracted the ring and had to tap it with a mallet to effect it's release from it's seat after removing the OD cluster using my mad rotation and twisting skills.

Ok! That's all my burning questions!!

Thanks all!
