63 Dart 904 with rear pump thrust washer question

Hi folks. Reassembling my tranny now but having issues with the 3 thrust washers with the 3 tangs.
I felt I was careful disassembling and laying out the output shaft but for some reason when I try to get it all back together I cant get the circlip on the output shaft with the three washers installed where I thought they went.
I have looked at this drawing:

Which shows four of the washers and their 3 tangs labeled as part 238. One thing it doesn't show which confuses me is the lack of a ball bearing placed in the output shaft which locks the shaft to the rear pump impeller. So I have some confusion if this layout is correct.
Anyone run into a problem like this or can anyone offer any insights?
I can take pictures if anyone would like to see the washers and anything else.
Thanks for any help.
