I recently installed a shift kit in my 2007 Monte Carlo LS, After installing the kit I realized I left out the .530 spacer that go on top of the 2-3 accumulator piston. Everything else however was installed including the long .750 spacers. Will this damage my transmission if I left it like this or is it recommended to drop the pan again to install the .530 spacer?
Small mistake with 4t65e TransGo Shift kit

The spacers are there to reduce accumulation & speed up the shift time, Specifically the 2-3 shift in this case.
These kits are designed around all the parts working together.
Do you have a scan tool capable of reading Shift Error Times & TAP Cells (Transmission Adaptive Pressure)?

Unfortunately I don’t have a scan tool good enough to detect those 
. I did drive it and it does seems 2-3 shift is more drawn out and that I have to apply more throttle to get it to shift again, it won’t shift again until it reaches 40mph. On WOT from 25-30mph it shifts very hard into gear, hard enough to chirp the tires
. I honestly might drop the accumulator again to put the spacer .530 on top of 2-3.
