No seal rings are missing there (the ones that look like piston rings).There's just 1 on either side of the feed hole they seal off bro.

I need new glasses then, all the rebuild kits I find don't mention the clutch and steels that my transmission broke but the one on the link does mention the OD brake clutch and steels that is why I have it in the cart, unless I'm wrong, hope I got the right one.....

Noof, check this kit, sellers says it has the clutches and steels I am looking for

Looks good Turbo, but I would like to see some bushings in there.Examine the thrust washers closely too.Remember to soak the frictions in fresh fluid for a few hours before installation as well.

Your going to have to rebush that bro.That thrust washer has seen better days too.You've gone this far:finish it properly.
Do you have a way to compress the springs on the clutch assemblies that have them?You will need to so you can replace the piston seals.I did mine in my press back in the day.

When I did the TransGo kit with aluminum 1-2 accumulator I used brand new ATF+4 I collected the fluid for recycling and notice tiny particles that are not magnet, it seems aluminum and I think that is converter internals, anyway I got another converter and gave that one as core......anyway even clutches are good in photo you can see letters on them, all goes new anyway......I got this feeling the OD did not get rebuild, everything looks clean but when I got to the Overdrive Piston dirty, after that piston the clutches (3) and steels that got busted and I am sure when I take the OD unit to the press it will be same, dirty and nothing rebuild. I checked all the bushings we called them same as what crankshaft uses (bearings) but round or some called them "Bronce" all looks replaced.....all that is left to do is opening up the oil pump......thanks let me know if you need more photos, gladly take them and upload them for your input.........TP

[TurboPirate]

OK, I just order the thrust washer kit....

Noof, is this the right one? My transmission is A500/42RE, just want to avoid returning wrong parts via mail, why I don't buy this local? Because the price is not right, I bought the converter locally because it was in the right range..........TP
P.S. all bushing are being replaced, once I start rebuilding something I do it right or best not do anything at all, I don't like to remove transmission a second time because I didn't want to spend a few $
