Yeah, the circle on the far left(by the 2-4 band anchor pin) is NOT a check ball location. I Hope the scan I sent you out of my Helms helps. There should only be 4 in the case side if I remember correctly. The one on the far right is a check ball housed in a cup with two tabs holding it in place(most of the time) :smile:
Use the tips in the video to see if the 5th is used(the little bath tub toward the top close to where the shift lever is). I doubt it though.

Hey JWaller,
The directions Brian sent me on how to do this were tough to read at best. The best I could tell is the idea is to remove the piston, flip it over, cut a piece of pipe or stack up washers until the piston, when reinstalled, will just BARELY touch the separater plate. Does this sound right? I thought about trying this in the Ty when I do it but wasn't sure about the proper way to modify it.

If you are blocking accumulators, flip accum piston nipple side towards seperator plate and either cut a small spacer or stack stainless steel washers under it until it is flush with the bore or a little less, never more...

I think you mean to flip the accumulator piston the other way. Unless I misunderstood you. The nipple side already faces the separater plate, the spring touches the plate and goes up inside the piston around the nipple. That's the way it is set up stock. At least that's how Jesse's was.
I'm no expert by no means. If you look at page 42 of the ATSG at Fig 59. There is a good picture of it in the stock position.
Flipping the accumulator piston would position the nipple away from the plate. Then put washers inside the piston until it is flush with the bore.
Johns way is even easier.

You can do it either way but the way I said above it the best because you can contain everything in the bore and only have the piston face with the nipples sitting flush against the plate. This way the plate doesn't get a dimple pressed into the plate by a piece of pipe or anything else. The piston will distribute the force evenly. If you dent the plate, it can start causing leaks between fluid passenges. That's why you do it that way...
