I am replacing the shift and TCC solenoids, when I removed the internal I had the arm? And a three springs with plugs come out. The arm is stainless and notched. I'm looking for a diagram of the pieces inside so I can make sure there installed right. I got the solenoids put back and car won't go into gear. I also have a piece that fell out.

You indicated ". Removing the internal I had the arm." Can you explain? As far as the part, it looks like part of the detent spring/ball. That ball rides on a lever that is grooved. See picture 1 and let me know if that is where it came from. Also, picture 2 shows a different view.

Let me know. Also, where did the three springs come from? Do you have pictures of them?

Thanks, I'll take pictures tomorrow the springs went up into the transmission with plugs, so I'll rip it back apart since it won't shift. So I re drained it and will pull off the housing tomorrow. I'm assuming that I didn't put the parts back in right.

When I pulled off the solenoid housing the springs and indents went everywhere. I tried to assume we're they went.

I appreciate your response and will get back on early morning.
