The one Lee is referring to came out of my transmission. We have been dealing with a 2-3 flare. The unit is a dual feed 2004r with all the billet parts, Sonax servo, Raybestos blues in direct, upgraded direct apply springs, and a .550 boost valve.
We went through the transmission in November and noticed the OE retainer was concave. Prior to this rebuild the stock apply springs were being used. Since updating the spring we are concerned that the retainer will show the same bending at an earlier time during use. We are attempting to see what others are doing if anything to modify or replace the OE stamped steel direct clutch apply spring retainer.
