727 Build for Mid-10s

Who said I bought a $140 rebuild kit? I have a flat snap ring, as mentioned in post 117. I think you may be getting this thread mixed with another. I didn't buy a billet steel drum to use 5 frictions. I bought it for strength. The piece of mind is well worth it to me.

btw- got the planetary drive assembled today. Clearance was at .017".
I didn't say that you bought the $140 kit. You mentioned it and I advised against it because, for one; it has thicker direct frictions; which I feel is just a cheap way to sell high performance kits to folks who can't think outside the box; and are content to just, "slap a kit in it". I asked about the direct clutch clearance and you said that you already specified a flat snap ring in post #117, but the word "FLAT" is nowhere in your post #117. If you really had specified a flat snap ring I would have advised against it because it will give you a harsh reverse engagement. I am a very careful reader and I have excellent comprehension skills as well.
