727 Build for Mid-10s

See, you guys, this is how bogus information gets started. If you would at least take the time to measure the steel part of the frictions, you'd see a difference in the thickness between the forward and direct. It's easily noticeable when you put an eyeball on it. And the difference of the thickness of the friction material is about .006. But it doesn't matter, because the difference isn't enough to even consider asfaras wear capability; which shouldn't be a consideration anyway, because automatic transmission frictions are not designed to wear at all. If the friction material wears off, then your 2-3 shift should be loose. If it doesn't loosen up, creating a 2-3 spin-up, then that means that your shift had too much overlap to begin with; which is what wore down your clutch; and burnt the band. If it was acceptable for a clutch to wear, then why is the initial clearance so critical? Think about it. On top of all this, a stack of six thins with six steels is a least .035 thinner than a stack of five thicks with five steels. Please measure from now on; assumptions just spread incorrect information.
