Do not replace all the bronze bushing: Only replace bronze sleeve/bushings when you SEE an ofset wear pattern (typical to the Tail housing, Converter neck support) or feel play that would allow the rotaing mass to go offset.

Sometimes I use NEW iron sealrings, or NEW/OLD TEFLON seal rings depending on the seal surface and groove fit. I think the Front Pump-to-Forward Pack Must have a Teflon 1st-seal then an Iron 2nd seal for best results. Too much wear on the Forward pack sealing surface for 2 irons.

MOD: 2-3 upshift: Center Support gets 3 iron (teflon OK) sealrings, not 4. 2nd seal from end is leftout. Direct Pack middle DIA lipseal is leftout. Tiny feedhole in separatorplate is plugged (tiny screw&nut & peen it with a hit). Sometines I used a 1/4"dia shank from an old gring stone and plug the equivalent Center support feed instead of the tiny Separator plate hole.

Flip the protruding 2-3 accumulator puck within the Valvebody. That means flip the aluminum puck or grind the 3 tabs off the plasic puck&flip, and leave the coilspring out.
