good thread, nice to see
kudos Noof, in a different thread I took issue with something you said that I thought was inaccurate (basically nitpicking), well I take it back and then some ... it's not often you see someone that has the knowledge, to take the time to give an honest evaluation and opinion
No harm...no fowl bro.There's nothing wrong with expressing an opinion, or disagreeing with one.lol.Quote:

Good job sir!
Any updates bro?
According to track numbers all in transit, I had to buy snap ring with different thickness when I was re-checking everything I noticed that snap ring bended when I removed it, I believe is called the intermediate shaft snap ring, I also order the spacer of the Overdrive piston, I checked the "clearness"< I don't think that is the proper word....between the piston spacer with bearing with the ATSG book and it was way off......allow me to upload photos of what I am saying
Some of the snap rings are selective in order to adjust & control end play.

The Snap Ring bended completely to FUBAR.
I also can't find Dorman 800-610 Attachment 29472
I took the OD unit to hydraulic press on Monday I will get it back for inspection and cleaning...........
I think the wrong size was installed because it bended.....I order the set that has different thickness also like in photo the shim with different thickness for OD unitQuote:

Assembly time, wish me good luck luck and lots of patience..lol
Take your time, be clean & think it through.Any doubts at all,stop & clarify.Do so & you will be fine...you won't need luck because skill & common sense will prevail.Worked for me that way for 47 years.
ps...don't forget to soak the frictions for a few hours before assembly.
Yes sir, I got the perfect place to soak everything before assembly, also Vaseline for assembly
It seems the kit has an upgrade or something I am doing wrong, the clutches that got burned were only 3 the kit has 4.........according to the ATSG book it has 3 clutches
Many trans kits will cover several models of the same transmission bro.There must be a build that has an extra friction in that clutch, but not yours.Do as the manual for your model, or replicate what you had.You should check clearance when the clutch packs are assembled anyways.Quote:

I was told one of those possibilities was the clearance was not checked when assembled last time and cause those clutches to burn, inside the overdrive unit all was good, planetary was good bearing and washer, it is back in the press for assembly with new snap ring

I forgot to upload this photos, all is clean now
Got the reverse band but can't find the overdrive snap ring at any local store........everything else I almost finished assembly

All Torrington bearing were good but since the transmission is open I prefer to do the job one time........
Noof, quick question/consult.....I was given many supposedly upgrades to the overdrive brake clutch pack, my A500/42RE has only 3 clutches steels in between and at both ends a pressure plate, one thicker than the other, I was suggested to remove one of the pressure plate and add more clutches and steels and obviously measure the clearance between this pack the spacer (selective, I have 3 different sizes) and Torrington bearing........I can go by the book on this but I prefer to hear what you think on this "upgrade".....I was suggested to do illustration #4 or at least #3

Did you get the overdrive snap ring you were looking for ?Quote:

If you're removing the steel that's adjacent to the apply piston in the clutch, don't do it.What you gain in friction area, you lose in clutch strength.The thick steel is there for a good reason.I would stick to the factory allocation.After all, it came with that clutch configuration & worked well for some time.You do this build right & it will outlast your Jeep.Quote:

Got the snap ring, Saturday will take the overdrive unit to the hydraulic press, the oil cooler fittings a friend who lives in Kentucky is going to send them to me, every place I tried it ended up refunding the money with shipping included.....Attachment 29526
The Overdrive is fully assembled, the overdrive brake clutch pressure plate and reaction plate were damaged my friend with a lathe fixed both surfaces and this is what he did, from both plates he took from the surfaces enough to fit one clutch and one plate, I checked the clearance used the spacer fix from sonnax, now I am assembling the case, both planetary are installed, I am going to recheck clearance on the drums as specified in the ATSG book before installing them in the case..........TP
Transmission is up, hold with 2 bolts, torque converter with 1 quart of ATF+4 in it, Transmission mount installed I also installed the speed sensor and the speedometer sensor, tomorrow will finish starting with the bolts remaining and the torque converter bolts and starter, tube for dipstick and finally the drive shaft, after I make sure all is torqued will install the oil cooler lines and final touch the fluid.........will report if doesn't rain again..........thanks for the help TP.
