4r55e or similar trans rebuild question

[Rangerin503]

I have a 1996 4.0 4x4 Ranger, and decided to give rebuilding the automatic transmission a go myself. I finished all of the internals and valve body without really inspecting the inside of the case. There's some gouges around the holes where the adjustment bolts are located, and I don't know where to go from here. Can I file them out or do I need to find a new case? If I need a new case will any of the 4r or 5r ones work or do I need another 4r55e?

That’s the way they are. I always try to remove any pieces of flash that looks like it’s ready to break off.

Thanks. That's the answer I was hoping for. Now to put it all back together and pray that it works.
