    well look what i found in my tranny!

    nah, those bolts just go through the valve body and the metal plate on the top side of the valve body. im thinking about pulling the valve body out and checking everything out to make sure its still intact. that would make my life so much easier

    well look what i found in my tranny!

    well look what i found in my tranny!

    so...if these bolts that i put in didnt go through the thin metal plate on the top side of the valve body than it wont work? i tapped the holes but it felt like the tap was bottoming out on something....maybe it was that thin metal plate. i might end up taking the valve body out if i cant do...

    well look what i found in my tranny!

    i just replaced the screws that had come out. the screws i used were exactly the same length also. i think it might just be that the fluid needs to fully circulate. it did this a little bit when i first drove it after i got it put in. ill just have to wait and see tomorrow morning. the pan...
