Trans Build Kit

I got thinner steels also in my kit for the OD. I used an extra steel, Kolene, and friction, Alto Red, in the OD unit. I measured the original friction/steels and with the extra Kolene/friction in the new stack, they both came in almost the same measurement for the stack. I only have about 200 miles since rebuild and enjoying the shifts, it gives a little bump when going in gears but nothing really obnoxious if you drive a lot.

OD direct. Use the 8 steels and 9 clutches, as the measurement is so close to each other, .001 inch is acceptable. As for the .004 between the frictions/steels I've never heard of that but I haven't been a transmission tech, just an ASE certified (backyard) mechanic. No problems here with the 8 steels and 9 frictions stack on mine. Mine was off by by about .001 also. This is called a "power pack" with the extra friction/steel and will help handle more torque/power, less slipping, and more holding (clamping) power in OD.
