Great post. Good job.

For the reassembly process and the clutches that have specifications, I believe there are various thicknesses of snap rings available. Did you find that all were in spec? I ask because you didn't mention waiting for special snap rings, or does the overhaul kit contain an assortment of different thicknesses?

Congratulations, and nice to give back to the forum by telling the story.
