'02 4.6is "034" 5hp-24 DIY(1st time)

Thanks Phil. I am almost done. The two towers are ready to go in although I ended up with an extra large friction plate. I checked how many I took out and the number matches with the large friction plates I put in which is 15. Did I miss something or the kit came with 16 large friction plates?

Louis, did you end up with an extra plate as well or I screwed up somewhere? I tried to be very careful though.

The second question is regarding the 0.2-.04 mm play under 200N force. I see Phil and the manual referring to this as an important check point.
Did you guys do that check and if you did how did you do it?

thanks,
Florin
