IIRC, it's a lever that applies the tension to the bands during shifting. You normally replace it with a billet one. Also a good idea to replace the accumulator piston. The stock one is plastic...

I called a local DTT dealer/builder, and talked to him. He built my trans, told me about all of those parts. I ended up getting the accumulator piston, the apply lever, upgraded clutch packs...all that good stuff.

Dave Goerend is the guy you want to talk to in my opinion, he isn't cheap but worth every penny in my mind
