Good move I think. Will be 0.135" wire spring. A good starting point

As I quoted earlier right from the Sonnax instructions. Excess overlap can be felt as a hard shift. The servo is easily removed from the outside. Can also verify then that it is free and can easily return on its own
From memory that valvebody relies on the spring only to return the piston. There is no pressure to help push it off. Jay I think supplies a heavy return spring

For maximum servo apply, start with lightest
spring. If the 2-3 shift has excessive overlap,
switch to the return spring with larger wire diameter.

pulled the servo last night. piston did not come out with spring pressure. took to work, machined to 3.242 put back in with factory spring .13? wire. i will find out friday how it does.

Glad you got it fixed Wink
