thanks steve, I was looking inside the housing with a mirror I guess old spacer crumbled by time because it wasnt in its place, I pulled the piston and the switch out and had to use magnet to pull the pin out if was just sitting there. Now I put the ring in its place and its holding the pin str8, I will make sure it goes in the band, wish me luck, in an hour I will let you know, either i will take a drive to a tranmission shop or a cruise in town.
