If you removed the servo, Im thinking, you blew the retaining ring out of the servo on the pass side of the trans due to it not being seated properly.

Re: installed a SK-700 &&&&

Thats my 1st thought... I did everything with the car on the ground and I tried to take the servo out but it wasnt coming so I just put the retaining clip back in and left it. I got a corvette servo to go in it but since the cover was so close to the body, I didnt think the shaft would clear... Guess I'll be pulling the tranny out and going thru it again, A LOT more thoroughly... I'm thinking since it'll be out, I'll go ahead and do a full build since I found more metal in the pan than I'm comfortable with...
