722.3 Transmission Valve Body HELP!

Well, today has been an awful day. I pulled the valve body on my 1992 400E to put in some new springs and o-rings. I've been having all sorts of shifting issues that I traced back to the VB. Anyways, I followed the directions saying to separate the two VB halves, and incidentally, all the damn plastic check balls have run all over the place. Also a couple springs and some other gizmos fell out. Great. I have no idea how it goes back together. I do not have the 722.3 transmission manual. If anyone out there has an instruction manual, a diagram, a picture, ANYTHING, that could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Tomorrow I may take the whole thing to the dealer and see if they know anything... or if I can borrow their manuals. Thanks everyone in advanced!

Here is the FSM

Here is the ATSG.

I'd reference both step by step as a double check for your work.

Alright, so now everything is back in the car and working... mostly.

My shifts have all improved, no more flaring, no more hard shifts. HOWEVER, now the car won't shift out of 1st until nearly 3000rpm, regardless of my throttle input! And once in 2nd it will almost immediately shift to 3rd, since the rpms are so high.

This forum has been a great help. Any further suggestions would be wonderful!

I've got a valve body in a 92 400E with trans problems. $20 will get you right back to where you started from

Sounds like the bowden cable as said above. Tighten it up and see if it makes a difference.
