This little piece was a bugger to get out..It was like a wedge..tight in its hole..With a very small screwdriver was able to pry it out of there a small amount and then the rest of the way with a pair of needle nose pliers..

And then these little dohickey parts..I am sure that they have a technical name to them but...

This little plastic part sets in the intermediate plate..As the manual says, just squeeze the little tabs on the side in and it pops right out of there..

The lower cover and intermediate plate are upside down in comparison to the way it was pulled off the transmission setting on the bench..

You unscrew this little plate with the 4 screws and the intermediate plate and lower cover separate from each other..The IP lifts up and there is no balls, springs or anything like that ..that can go off to no where ville..inside the lower cover...EXCEPT these 3 little parts in the next post

After lifting up the Intermediate plate and set it aside, you see the inside of the lower cover..These are the 3 parts inside to take out for now..Nothing else is loose or sproing prone..

here is the pictures showing the removal of those 3 plastic parts..One of those screens was pretty well plugged with brown sludge..

This lower cover is done with for now

In the manual, it says there is suppose to be a paper gasket between the intermediate plate and what I call the small valve body or as the manual calls it..lower cover..

It wasn't there!!

So I can't believe that didn't affect the performance of the trans..leaking from one passage to the other or just leaking out side of itself and loosing pressure..

The master kit has the gasket

OMG thank you for this very particular fine detail and photos
having realized that my 722.315 was missing those two tiny thimble screens
nowhere on the internet is there a photo of the original part

but I managed to find what I thought was an easy replacement on a parts catalog...

only to find out they are totally different, they are about the same size but they have all this exta plastic on the outside that doesnt fit into the little hole on the plate of the 722.315

the original part is of course not available anymore and unless I find someone with a old valve body laying around seems I might be SOL, but at least now I know im not crazy.
