URGENT! Need help on valve install

[Black Box]

Stoopid, stoopid me....I am installing my PT Xtreme Pressure Regulator System today and I removed the wrong valve. I removed the one that's to the passenger side of the filter inlet. So now I have this valve sitting here and I have no idea what order it goes back in (it just fell out when I removed the snap ring).

The parts sitting in my hand are:
Yellow spring about 1.00" long, 5/16" diameter
Green spring of about 1.00" long 7/16" diameter
Valve about 3 9/16" long
A retainer plate with an offset hole drilled in it
Snap ring

I am thinking that the assembly goes in like this:
Green spring-valve-yellow spring-retainer-snap ring

Is this correct?

Thanks much
Steve

The springs go inside of each other (together ) , then the converter valve (long stem towards the springs) , offset hole retainer , then the snap ring .

Maybe you can get some petroleum jelly to hold it together while you assemble it.




it's Green spring--yellow spring- valve -retainer-snap ring


Hope this helps

Yellow and green spring go in together and in first. Then the valve goes in and the little plate holds it in with the snap ring. This is the lockup valve. Yellow spring inside green spring.

And bigger end FACES retainer...

Cool....thanks gentlemen. Got that back together and the Pressure Regulator system is in! Valve body is back in and I'm tightening up the bolts.

Now I have a new question....the TV cable kickdown linkage inside the pan....there's that cotter-pin kinda thingy that popped out of that assembly....I put it back together, and I have the light blue spring over the "U" end of the "cotter pin"and the U end of the pin thru the kickdown bracket. The end of the pin that's bent at a 90* angle....that goes in the slotted side of the bracket, facing towards the passenger side of the trans pan, correct?

TIA again
Steve

Leave out the ck ball as in instructions and throw away the blue little spring and the hairclip looking thing. You will be fine...

Cool, thanks to all. Got it all back together!

That pressure regulator valve sure sits in there pretty snug, huh? Took me a while to get it in there and pushed up into the bore enough to get the snap ring. It just took a bit of wiggling to get all the parts seated right.

Bruce, I left out all the check balls that weren't called for in the instructions. Haven't done a shift kit install in a couple years (more like a decade). What a nice surprise it was when I dropped the VB and little steel balls bounced all over the place!

Thanks for the help.
Steve

I left the ck ball out "BUT" I reinstalled the blue little spring and the hairclip looking thing. When I installed the kit. Should I have left it out? Or is it OK leaving it in?

Thanks,
Guy

OK last question before I take this bad boy out for a rip around town....when I installed the new line bias spring and put the stock LB spring in place of the stock accumulator spring, the stock accumulator spring gets discarded, right? I'm guessing so, but just wanted to be sure.

Thanks
Steve

Hey Steve, this is Brian from Marks car show on Mondays. After you test how that shift kit is please send me an e-mail of how you like it. How was your tranny shifting before the shift kit? How is it shifting now? I really want to do this mod before I head back to school in early september. Thanks man!

I think I too removed the wrong thing. I removed the driver's side valve (whatever that is) which appears to be one large spring and then two other pieces. I am trying to install a non-locking valve. How do I do this? Please don't tell me I have to remove the valve body?
