A replacement accumulator plate for use in CHRYSLER 45RFE and CHRYSLER 5-45RFE transmission valve bodies is redesigned to increase the service longevity of the original equipment manufacture accumulator assemblies disposed in the valve body including the low/reverse clutch accumulator, the 2nd clutch accumulator, the 4th clutch accumulator, the underdrive clutch accumulator, and the overdrive clutch accumulator. The present replacement accumulator plate includes a plurality of stress reduction zones, which are integrated into the replacement accumulator plate to reduce flexion imparted to the plate in operation. A method of the present invention provides for the formation of such stress reduction zones on the replacement accumulator plate and for the installation of additional fasteners which extend through the replacement accumulator plate to engage mating threaded holes formed in the valve body adjacent to the accumulator assemblies to minimize the mechanical stress and breakage commonly found in the original equipment manufacture accumulator plate.
