I had my 700R transmission rebuilt a year ago by a well known vender, and it has been working fine. Decided to change the fluid and filter today to clear out any "break in" clutch material. I found two metal shims stuck to the magnet in the pan. About and inch long by quarter inch wide, labeled SHIFT KIT us pat 4711140-SK. I didn't see them when I first installed the trans a year ago. Started to think they fell out of something, but now wondering if they may just be stuck in the pan to let future people know a shift kit was installed.
Anyone know for sure what these are?
Would give me piece of mind to know they are just labels.
I think a Trans-Go shift kit was installed when rebuilt.
Thanks

 

They go in the TV system. Are these pieces bent up, or perfectly flat?

 

Yes they are perfectly flat.
No wear marks or dents.
I know the TV has a valve, sleeve and spring.
Where would these shims go?
What do they do?
Is it bad they are in the pan?

Thanks

BTW: ProBuilt, I did buy this from you for an 1988 corvette back in July of last year. I have no complaints, and it's lasted very well behind about 450hp. I did email you about this a few weeks ago, but didn't get anything back. Probably SPAM blockers.


thanks again

 

They go inside of the red spring of the TV system.
