Hey yall, I'm doing the superior shift kit on my brothers 2000 ranger. 3.0 so it should be the 4r44e.
I'm at step 5, installing the thermo blocker into the valve body. However the valve is not even close to fitting back in flush with the body. Like 1/4" off. Without the blocker installed the valve sits flush but wont go in any further. Any ideas here? Do I forgo the thermo blocker and install everything else?
 






Nevermind. Just needed to beat the stupid thing
