I pulled the servo and checked everything out and everything was perfect. Next thing I'm gonna do is pull the valve body and put the factory 1-2 shift valve back in.

You do not need to pull the valve body to put the factory valve back in. Just pull the solenoid and it should be accessible. Also make sure that the white inner spring is in the bore. When you installed the valve did you install the gold check ball in the bore and then the green spring in the end of the valve? I would verify that this is correct and also that the holes in the valve are not plugged with any flashing from when the valve was manufactured. Vince

Good for you! Thanks for the update. Glad you got it worked out.

When you swapped the parts did you see anything that might make you second guess it? Just curious what the diagnosis was?

I was looking out for something out of the blue but everything I swapped over went in the same way so I'm stumped on what it was. Thanks for all the advice guys.

Thats great news that you got it fixed. If you want to get nuts start pulling the valves out and look for burn like marks on the valves. This will more than likely show you if you have worn bores.
