Sorry. I wasn't paying attention! Yes the bushing should be there as it pilots the reactor shaft and also keeps the direct clutch pressure from just running into the convertor rather than being directed on its convoluted path to the piston. Packard probably did not service it separately, but every Kanter kit comes with one as it is rather important for successful direct engagement.

Don't know why you have the extra o-rings. The only o-rings in the unit are on the jumper tubes back by the rear pump. Maybe its the same reason that every Best Gasket straight eight set has a thin cork ring (not the front seal) included. I have never seen a place for it on an engine.
