Hope the pic has uploaded.

 

No but the parts catalogue is online, may be here www.automaticchoice.com/Catalogue/5r55n.pdf

 

Not sure but maybe it connects to the shifter rod to move valves in the valve body?

It looks as though the overdrive band has snapped and this part is something to do with that.
It's new transmission time ,i think!
Dam it!

 

We have not seen that before. Any idea why it let go?

Overdrive band "snapped" ? I doubt that. Bands I've seen are thick even if the friction material isn't so much. That sure looks like the link between the actuator and the band, but why it would fall out...you'd have to remove the overdrive piston to get a look see. Might be worth a trip to youtube to see how those units come apart. Unless you can pick up a used one cheap from a wrecker I'd take it apart. Got nothing to lose.

 

Well I've finally changed the transmission with a know good unit but I'm getting a grinding noise that sometimes disappears but then comes back,it seems to be coming from the torque convertor area.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

you seem to know about the treansmissions do you know what a normal delay into drive from neutral is thanks
