Knee deep in first transmission rebuild, opinions welcomed.

[Fless]

Top notch information, as always. Transparts is sending me the proper replacement and I think part of my goof was incorrect snap ring, though I'm gonna want to swap out some parts of the stack. Should I swap steels first or clutches? Does placement matter as far as toward the top or bottom?

Man, I could spend forever picking your brain and still learn something new. This build is my first and it's going to be fairly stock ish. I'm building a solid foundation and next will be the unit out of my son's 00 z/28 which we are going to experiment with more mods. It really is fun learning how all of it works, even if there is so much packed in haha. Anyways, thanks for your support!

Need to be sure to tag @NickTransmissions or he might not see it.

@NickTransmissions funny story, I think my kit came with the alto power pack as well as stock .80 frictions, not sure why. So narrowing down, I should just be swapping out steels for adjustment, correct? Guess I'll just hold on to those stockers. The plan is to use your video from about 6 months ago as a reference. I have 4 .076 steels to swap out of necessary. Is the recommendation to swap those with steels from the center of the stack as necessary? Again, thanks for all the help!

Just the clearance to about.028, I think. I suck with the dial indicator but if I left up and hold my calipers to it I am seeing about .028. dial is around .030 but keeps moving on the table.
