I'm reassembling the planetary geartrain on the intermediate shaft of my 47RH; service manual calls for .006" - .048" geartrain play/clearance.... and I currently have none.
I've a new sun gear with bushings, new 6-pinion rear planet, new 5 pinion front planet set, all new thrust washers and reusing the existing shaft, snap-ring, annulus sets, outer shell & thrust plates. The snap ring goes on with ease, and i can rotate it in the bore... but when i flip the assembly to check the clearance, I cannot get a .002" feeler between the shoulder on the shaft and the annulus.
What to do? THe service manual calls for a thinner snap ring (currently @ .057" thick), but wittrans.com doesnt offer selectable thickness snap rings, and I'm not really sure where to look next.
