727 Build for Mid-10s

Was the thrust button gone on the front of the output shaft or was the forward clutch clearance excessive?

The bronze output/input shaft thrust washer was still there. The forward clutch clearance was .045" and the play between the belleville spring and piston was .048". I'll probably end up getting a thicker apply piston from CRT to tighten up the play in the forward clutch hub.
