ok, sorry for wasting your time, but i was reading back on my previous posts, but i am going to fix the 1-2 accumulator spring. now this is my question. i got a diagram breakdown and it only shows 1 spring. you said to replace both, but there is only one. so is this just an update, and what about the accumulator cap? is it really necesary to replace it? what if i dont, is there a bad effect? sorry but thanks LOL

 

There are 2 springs in the 1-2 accumulator and only 1 spring in the 2-3 accumulator are you looking at the right one?

 

just looked at a parts breakdown from ford for a 94 4r70w and it showed only one spring apiece in each accumulator. we are talking about a 4r70w, right? mabe you are thinking of a different tranny. reguardless, i have ONE spring on order. also, i didnt order a cap. if i really need one, please let me know

 

Ask for a teardown of a 99 transmission and use the parts used in it. Your 94 may not have had both springs.
It never hurts to update these transmissions.

so should i use 2 springs like the 99 model?
i dont think i would try that, as long as the updated accumulator dosent break the spring and shifts smooth, i am happy. let me know if i need 2 springs. do i put one on each side of the accumulator? is that possible with a 94? thanks a bunch

 

Yes it is possible. I thought all years used 2 springs but I have seen alot of variations in factory transmissions.
I don't build transmissions so I'm not up on when they did what exactly with different parts. I install alot of transmissions and have good luck at converting later model transmissions to work in place of early ones and to fix minor problems in transmissions while they are in the vehicle when possible.

ok, great. i hope i get my parts tomorrow. i'll replace them, and let you know how it goes

 

There should be 2 springs in the 1-2 accumulator. One on top of the piston and one under it.
I will try to post a diagram from the repair manual when I get home tonight.

 

I have two springs in my transmission (1996). One is yellow, one is white.

Which goes on top (tansmission side) and which on the bottom (valve body side?

Thanks .... Mike

 

just got done. white goes on bottom, yellow on top read my new post i am going to make.
