Trans help for a friend needed

Popdart said
Just so I am reading this right, you are saying that the someone who installed a "shift kit" in my trans may have removed the accumulator spring and installed a blocker rod, correct? Just checking, in case I get in that far.

Exactly.

(just in case Tracy fishy68 got busy or something and couldn't answer.)
It mat even have the spring, but it could be broken jamming the accumulator.

I either case start there if there isn't any play in the u joints.

You have answered the other simple possibilities.
