The rear servo got two balls (with two holes) to slow the application rate for reverse because customers complained of harsh reverse application.
Nothing to do with breaking the rear band.



There's 7 balls in the top half and there's suppose to be one(rear clutch check valve) in the lower half of the body...
I have all my balls and all in the correct locations according to the ATSG guide.
The only ball out of place was that one that's not suppose to be in the low reverse servo.
Also, there are little x's etched into the metal where all the balls go but no x at the low reverse servo.

So this confirms it then! They put a ball where there wasn't suppose to be one!
This and the misalignment that I've mentioned in my other threads makes me wonder how they could've messed up so bad...Either way that shop is going to hear from me! Not looking forward to that.
