A very sincere thank you to all contributors, I've got a game plan now. Feel free to continue the discussion, it helps the idea process!

Thanks guys, I guess I'm getting too freaked out in my old age. Low/no zinc oil (gonna use zinc break in oil) , rebuilt motor and transmission, even a different used transfer case. It's going to be a circus! I need to make more friends... I built it, yep I went by the book, soaked the...

Thanks but....No... I know ultimately I'll have to check it that way. Three quarts just doesn't sound like enough to keep the trans lubed up after it fills all the dry places while I'm busy with the motor. How about this wonky question.....you prime motors, why not transmissions? :lol:

I've rebuilt a 727 and put in as much fluid as the torque converter will hold. It also has a dry external cooler. I've added 3 quarts of fluid and the stick already reads full. When I'm ready to start it, should I pop a couple more quarts in ? Because it's a new motor and I'll be busy with...

Sorry, my mistake, I looked again and it had 4 disc .062 . Many many thanks for all the advice, especially the stuff that the books don't tell you!

What I was thinking was, now there's 4 sets in the front clutch pack but still 3 sets in the rear clutch. Is that ok, or does it make adding the extra set to the front pointless?

That part does look a little difficult. Now, you've solved the front clutch question, but does anything need to be done to the rear clutch to even out things, does it help any? If so, just the same tricks?

Yep, mine measures .785 from the top.....and WOW flipping that rear plate gets 4 sets and a bunch of clearance!

You see, even the fancy dancy tech. manuals don't have this kind of good info!

Doh! I'll check that out!

It's like .092, so that's good news oldkimmer!

I thought the rear clutch lower plate was super thick with a ring protruding to push on the diaphragm/ spring...

That's good to know, that gives me a good tolerance no matter how many discs I use. And to tell if the frictions are useable again.

Thanks, I understand how to measure the wavy ring for the clearance. So I can substitute the wavy ring for the solid ring without any other problems? That would get me the clearance I need.

Mine is the flat ring, is the wavy thinner?

Thanks guys, I'm not liking choice number 2 either.

The main question is the clearance on the front clutch pack. This is an unknown big block RV trans. The FSM calls for .082-.151. The original pack clearance measures in at .045..?.. BTW the original frictions look really good, wish I hadn't opened this unit up, eh too late now. The new...
