Looks like the small rod the works with the vacum modulator, perhaps somebody changed it at some time and it fell out and they put in a new one.

That's what it looks like to me also, and yes, would not shift well without that in there.

If the modulator vavle did not have the rod in it, that would make you think it needed rebuilt? could that be the reason for the rebuild? if so? the shop would have noticed and told you before they rebuilt the trans? ie, it would have not shifted right!..hope that is not the case?

I was going to do it myself, the rebuild. But i noticed the rod and thought that might be the problem but i wont know for sure untill i get the gaskets that i ordered (servo)so i can throw some fluid in her and start it up.
