727 Disassembly and Advice

Austin, it may not be an issue but you might try to determine why your front clutch retainer is pre-1971 yet I suspect, based on the three tab thrust washer, the input shaft and the matching reaction shaft support are mid 70s and later. Some will interchange. I think it should have the wide bearing surface on the reaction shaft support to enable you to use the 1971 and later wide bushing retainer. Maybe though, someone just installed the narrow bushing for some reason? It had to have been working but it appears to have lots of different parts in it. Therefore, it would be good to figure out what year the output shaft is as the splines will be different on the front planet carrier that slides on it.
