Do you have their number as the tranny shop go it for me.

I could call Fairbanks and get another servo.

We took the superpump out and put the stock 10 vane pump in and the harden
NoYoYo rings.  The superpump just had plain cast pump rings in there.  The
new stator and input shaft is on its way here. I have the .521 boost valve
but Fairbanks before told me to take it out because they thought the line
pressure was too high with the Fairbanks billet servo and that maybe the
reason I am breaking their E-clips.

I phone Fairbanks tech line and get Superior transmissions.  Paul said to
use the .480 boost valve last time and still the E-clip still broke.
