I'm working on an early single solenoid a4ld valve body.
I found Glacier 999 valve body rebuild diary very helpful. My problem is that I seem to have absolutely lost the reverse engagement control valve from bore 207. When I first noticed that it was missing I wasn't sure that it was there when I took the thing apart. So I put it together less that piece. I was so completely unsure of myself that I sent the Valve body to a trans shop to have my work doublechecked Paid $75 they said it was fine. Today I got it together guess what no reverse. All fwd Gears are functional. Two Questions:
1. would this parts abscence alone render reverse completly useless?
2. Can I get just the parts for this bore new used or otherwise so I can replace the missing parts? Would this part interchange with newer trans models I may know where I could get a V B from a 90 something explorer.
Reverse worked prior to dissassembly for rebuild, the clutches were worn out so I replaced the clutches and seals. Naturally the valve body was completely Gunked up so I disassembled all of the bores placing parts for each bore in separate compartments in a tackle box. I am a novice and I remember one of the bores flying apart (It was probably 207) I found only a spring that had fallen. I've combed my work area but cannot find that valve anywhere any helpwould be appreciated.
