Nice one mate, very much appreciated.

Awesome man! Excellent material there.

FYI - removing the springs out of the 1-2 accumulator will give a nice, firm but not too hard 1-2 shift.

dunno if id run it without a spring especially if it's not pinless double seal, but you can buy shorter springs if you want to firm the shifts up.

yeah not sure, my transmission guy did it lol. pretty happy with it.

yeh the pistons job is the cushion the shock when shifting, i guess it's one way of letting more pressure though, shift kit or more force motor pressure in the memcal tune would be the other ways, im just not sure how it would affect valve wear by not cushioning the sudden pressure.
