Okay, I'm not going to drive myself to any further madness by trying to figure out exactly which of these thingies I need to replace the old thingy!

I need the part on the right side, with the buttons. I don't see one exactly like mine, but I'm sure one of you kind folks will know. I already replaced the part on the left side recently.

If someone could share the Amazon link, that would be so very helpful. :)

Here's a pic. And thanks, really.

Before a full replacement, may I ask why? Those flush valves normally have an easily removable gasket on the bottom, which will make it flush like new for a fraction of the cost. Just something to think about.
 
If you contact American Standard they should be able to get you the correct parts.
 
Through process of elimination I've determined I need to replace the part on the right...already replaced the part on left. It's approximately 12". I don't see an exact match on Amazon likely because mine is quite old. Could someone please share the link for the correct replacement if that's allowed? Or message me? Thanks so much.

In one of your many started threads you state the issue is The tank level is too low to adequately flush the bowl ....... so the fill valve you replaced must be adjusted so the water level in the tank is higher.
Your problem is not with the flush valve. Do a search on how to adjust a toilet fill valve. The instuctions were probably on the packaging.
( Be aware the toilet tank & bowl must be seperated to replace the flush valve )
