With the reverse drum in place, and a new thrust washer installed, there isn't enough clearance for the snap ring to install into the intermediate shaft support. What did I mess up?
I'm pulling the overdrive back off and making sure that the intermediate shaft support is all the way in. Its torqued to the right specs already but it's not much. I really only need another .020 of an inch to get this snap ring to clear.
EDIT: Pulling the overdrive housing and retapping the shaft support gained me no clearance. Maybe somewhere in the build I mixed up a couple of snap rings and this one is just too thick. I'm off to find a thinner washer or snap ring. Or sand this washer down if a thinner replacement isn't available.
Any advice is welcome if you've run into this problem before.
