What is the little round ring with dog leg I described?

Thanks 1000x for your help.!



that is for the clip that holds the input shaft into the rear piston retainer , taking it out will not help you get it apart, just the input shaft will come out and it won't just come out .

the rear clutches , steels and the bellvue are fried and probably welded together , I assume you have the front drum off ?

good luck , it's not going to be easy , I had a front and rear clutch stuck together , I ended up breaking the input shaft out of the retainer , at that point I just pitched the rest of it in the scrap pile .
