I am in the process of rebuilding my turbo 400 this weekend and need some help. When I removed the valve body, and began disassembly, There is NO spring in the 1-2 accumulator (kickdown)! I went to compress it to remove the clip and found no tension, so I removed the clip to find no spring.
Is there a reason someone may have removed it? I was hoping to have this done today!
Thanks for any help.

Maybee the previous owner installed a shift kit? I think the b &m kit has you remove that spring.

/not an expert on trannys just know a few things.
good luck
