Torqueflite 904 front clutch question.

I had my transmission apart for some repairs and I put new frictions and steels in the front drum. I noticed that when I installed the wavy snap ring that the frictions and steels were fairly snug, as in they didn't have any real clearance. I did not measure the clearance between the wavy washer and pressure plate with a feeler gauge. I had to get the car running so I put it back together hoping that the front clutch pack will "self clearance" over time. I notice a very slight drag in first and second gear that was not there before, as in the car doesn't roll forward as freely from a stop when the brake is released on flat ground. Is it wishful thinking to assume that the front drum frictions and steels will "loosen up" over time? My plan is to stay out of first and second gear as much as possible so that the clutches can self clearance without getting too hot. No drag in third gear obviously and the transmission shifts beautifully. Thank you for any reply.
