The binding is mainly there on the 1-2 shift if you shift it manually.
Stick it in (D) and be done with it...or...shift it from 1 to 2 at (or
right before) 1500rpm and it won't bind up. This is an inherent design
"issue" with all of the Mopar 727/904 and updated variants
(500/518/42/44/46/RE/RH)

But on some installs the rear servos can't be installed because of some
clearance issue with a strut, and the instructions say you will need to
have a shop install these parts. From what I understand the parts
aren't absolutely required but without them your shifts won't be as hard
as they could be and you will have binding on a manual 1-2 shift (which
I have, and it sucks)
