I know, another P1740 thread.... but I read everything I could find by Search so...

I know that there is a TSB on replacing the Pressure Boost Valve Cover with a revised part. Any good write ups on this procedure? I have a PDF manual but the most I can find on this is a diagram of the valve body assembly.
Supposedly there is a hole in the valve cover that is not large enough and causes it to momentarily slip out of OD. In the attached picture, I don't see any hole in the valve cover plate? Can I replace this without dropping the tranny, how easy is it, and where is it?
P1740 code is causing it to fail emissions test, so I need to get this fixed before my registration gets cancelled. Thanks.
