Just the front accumulator valve body (sits across the entire front part, side to side, of the transmission), held by two (10mm) nuts and eleven (8mm) bolts. Allow Valve body to drain on one side before removal.

Dozer, most kits you purchase will come with instructions. It is a very easy install, even for those who are uneasy about working on their tranny.

Old clothes, big drip pan, lots of rags. The mess is temporary, the shifting improvement lasts a long time.
