The wear pattern on the side is quite normal and inconsequential. Am not so thrilled that the wear on the top surface is not even left to right. Still, the purpose of those dampers is to only to prevent "torque agony" under certain conditions. Probably whilst in its death throws your trans was not well lubricated. Anyway, I would just dress up any rough spots with some 600 grit paper damped with oil and then wash it out nicely. Have you installed the new drum bushing yet?

Did your kit come with a new rear pump bushing?
