Well I pulled out the piston and it is defintiley the issue in my tranny. I know I need the following to put back in everything, however does anyone have the part numbers? The local dealership was not too helpful in anything whatsoever.

Transmission filter
Transmission pan gasket
New B2 piston (revamped version)
new bushing


Any part numbers would be awesome. Thanks guys.

don't forget the seal that installs in the bushing bore and the o-ring that seals around the outside cover.
