Tranny blue continues

The took the tranny apart, well guess what broke???  E clip broke right in
half that holds the Billet servo together, didn't real find where the other
half went to. Bit of fine metal flakes in the pan. 2nd gear starts fried the
Art Carr 2nd gear band and the drum is toast. The mechanical diode locked up
solid.  The convertor will have to be cut open and cleaned out again. Found
some of the rear planetary slines had small flakes of metal jamed into it.
So far the big expensive aftermarket parts seem not to be holding up. Eg.
Billet 2nd gear servo, mechanical diode, high volume pump.

Now what should I rebuild it with the stock Corvette servo, 2nd gear Kevlar
band, orginal 3rd gear sprag, new drum, new rear planetary.   I will have
the convertor cut open and cleaned again and I will flush the tranny cooler
and lines.
