Broken tabs/ears on pump gear

Since you haven't pulled a pump here's a tip that may help. Before you pull the pump tighten the front band down good and snug so it holds the clutch packs in place when you yank the pump out. You'll have to re-adjust the front band when your done but that's a lot easier than trying to get the clutch packs back in place. If you plan on removing the trans to do this you wont have to tighten the front band down cause you can stand the trans on the tail shaft to do it and the clutch packs wont fall out of place.
