I started my car today and the bolt that held the modulator valve was not on so it came off and when it did my tranny fluid and a small valve thing came out. I am not sure which way it goes back in or if I can even just push it back in the hole. Should it have a clip on it or does it just sit in place? Or am I going to have to tear apart the tranny to put the valve back in? Any help will be appreciated[img:b5d767d3c2]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/542583_20100623_145955367_1.jpg[/img:b5d767d3c2]

Small end goes in first no clip slides in bore as modulator moves. Didn't happen to find a spring? may still be in bore
