    Wierd difference in new/used transmission

    I pulled off the pans of both transmissions while doing the swap. As i was cleaning up after the massive trans fluid spill i noticed something. On the old transmission next to the valve body there is a plate with a tube coming from it. On the new/used transmission its not there. Any insight to what it is?

    I'm always reading of this or that weird year-to-year difference in AODs, don't suppose this could be one of them? The '87 transmission I was messing with recently looks like that, but with less of the big tubey thing sticking out.

      Yea, here is the second picture, the one without the tube. I guess it did not attach the pic last night.

        What years are they? There was a valve body update/recall in 89 to make em shift better.

          I believe the trans came out of an 89

            That may be the updated thingy. Not entirely sure what it is.

                Some cars had that accumulator in the valvebody, and some had it in the case. Not sure which was which, but I believe the changeover was 1990 ish, or maybe 1989.

                  I think 89?

                  The 91 trans I just put in my 87 the accumulator is in the VB, on the mystery AOD that was in it it was not.

                    zoomie might know.... alan at dirtydog performance told me that was a 3-4 accumulator.
                    My 1990 does not have it; just an empty bore!
                    My something-else does.

                    ....so, if the 1990 moved it into the valve body, would I have issues if I installed a 1990 valve body into this other AOD?
