checkball removal
I'm just finishing a transgo kit from Probuilt. It looks (?) like there's a checkball in that deep passage that runs up/down (or North/South) behind where my new corvette servo is. I've tried turning the trans right side up, a bit of suction from the shop vac and needlenose pliers. I don't have a small enough magnet. is that a checkball and does it need to come out.
thanks
thanks

More specifically, the passageway in the center of the screen with the large diameter hole at the bottom.

Re: checkball removal
And that checkball sits in a sleeve of that large diameter hole. But there's a dimple in the sleeve which prevents the checkball from dropping out of the case. And prevents a guy with a newly found magnet from extracting the checkball. I bet I can dremel the dimple in the sleeve but maybe that's not the right thing to do.
Any thoughts?

Re: checkball removal
That is the servo checkball capsule.
Leave it alone.
That ball is not meant to come out.
