Ok so in other words your saying there should be two springs?So you ordered a whole new accumulator housing from GM and only got one spring? I would just order the big outer one if you are worried about harsh shifts. Me, id roll the dice and hope the one in my trans was ok. Then again i like solid shifts, so even if it was broken id probably just hit up a hardware store and look for a spring close in diameter. Just to keep tension on the piston not even really for cushion.
