Default Shift Kit Question

I just received a TransGo shift kit for my TH 400, but in looking through it, it is missing the six check ***** (the instructions indicate they should be included). I called their customer service numbers, but they're both disconnected. I am going to call Northern this morning, but I think it might be easier just to buy the ***** from a local tranny shop. Anybody else used this kit before?

My 76 were metal and I was missing 2. (Or lost them removing the valve body). The local chain tranny shop couldn't sell me any so I had to go to a privatly owned shop and they gave me a handful. Good luck. You'll really like the difference.
