Ok, so went through the Tom Hand book, rebuilt everything, took my time during reassembly, reviewed my disassembly pictures as I reassembled - paying special attention to thrust washers and anything that didn't look right (many other posts as I went along), and guess what - I have too much end play.
When I measure pulling the input shaft back and forth it's ~ .099. When I measure flipping the transmission over (so the output shaft also moves a tad", it's .15.
I'm measuring endplay using calipers and a steel tube across the bell housing. Same tube each time, oriented the same way (sharpie) to ensure consistent measure point.
So what's the most obvious thing to look at as I disassemble it? It seems to me there is a lot of movent in the clutch packs s as I can see the part inside move (pic). I have a 3 thrust washers left over (pic) and they are all ~ .062 thick. I replaced all but the one under the sun gear snap ring (the book didn't seem to rebuild the sun gear) - but maybe I missed it.
We're headed out camping today so won't disassemble until Sunday afternoon.
Are there thicker thrust washers I should use? Any part numbers/urls to buy thicker ones are appreciated. They all seemed to match the original thicknesses and end play on input shaft was ~ .063 before rebuild.
I have all original thrust washers as I was doing 1 for 1 replacements.
Any thoughts on typical screw ups is appreciated.
