904 Steel Planetary Upgrade
So I tore down the 70 transmission today, it had .056 end play on the input shaft before I started. It has a 77 valve body in it so I guess my worries are gone there. It was already missing the accumulator spring. Has a 4.2 lever too. The rear clutch seemed pretty good but worn. The front clutch had over a 1/4 inch clearance at the snap ring, the most I've ever seen. Bas 4 pinion aluminum planets that seem to be in pretty good shape too. Overall it looks like a great candidate to build a trans that's plenty capable. Since the accumulator spring is missing,is there any way to tell if it has a shift kit installed? I haven't taken the valve body apart yet.
