So, this has been a total pain since it's a 67 (904) transmission....should have thrown it away but hey it's the original one from the car. I'll probably throw away that 273 but that's another story.
I'm almost done here....I got a rebuild kit without frictions/steels, bushing kit, thrust washer kit, TF-2, and some other goodies.
The two clutch packs are complete. The front pack where I did 5 thin frictions instead of 4 standard...after soaking them all in ATF fluid, the clearance seems a bit off. I THINK you're supposed to check clearance wet, if so, mine only comes to .30 or so, which I guess means I need a new snap ring or have the plate machined..what say you, FABO? The rear clutch pack is good on clearance.
Other issues -
1. The thrust washer kit is all wrong. The only thing that looks right are the fiber washers, big woop. Unless I missed something, there's only two larger washers that came out of the planetary assembly. The kit came with some that are similar (3 tabs) but they are too big. I went ahead and checked the end play with the old washers, I think it came out around .32, manual says .33 max....should I try to get the right washers and replace them? I'm guessing that will tighten it up a bit.
2. Seal rings...it came with a bunch of metal ones and I guess the others are teflon. Lots "left over". I used all but one of the metal rings, a small one with the locking ends. It appears the 3 metal rings that came off the kickdown piston have no replacements (metal ones) in the rebuild kit...am I supposed to use these teflon ones? They don't look like they'll seal like the metal ones. Also, should there be a bunch left over??
3. The bushing kit....I think it came with 2-3 extras and it didn't come with one for the front pump. Well, not one that's the same as what I knocked out of there. EDIT: Ok it's the stator bushing....trying to figure out which one goes in there.
I think that's it for now...stupid 67 transmission.
