what is the tolerance under that snap ring in the first set of clutches...and for the second set i found a seal in the second set of clutches that was bad not sure wht happen...its all appart now, a couple of plate are alittle blue in spots but not warped...looks like about 0.32 in front clutch pac and about 0.80 in rear clutch pac... whn i remooved the gov i noticed a steel ball laying on the floor, iam hoping it goes in the grove in the gov housing were it looks like it came from this is a 63 727 cable shift iam working on,,,,,,,in the intermediate drum, you will find that the wavy clip and the "washer" (which can be steel or a brittle plastic type piece) separates the belleville spring from the lower clutch plate (see picture attached). The purpose of the wavy clip and washer is to retain the belleville spring at the appropriate position above the piston so that the lower clutch plate may rest on it, and when the drum's piston is under pressure and expands, it pushes on the belleville spring (which is being held in place by the washer and wavy spring) and the spring is compressed thus causing equal pressure to be applied to the lower clutch plate, thus causing the clutch discs to engage (creating friction)... going into gear
