(For Twin Ultras)
As many of us know, the torque converter reactor endplay must be between .010 and .017, and the manual says to adjust this by replacing the "first turbine thrust washer" 3.6233 to one of a thicker size. However there are 3 thrust washers total in the assembly: - 3.6233 (above) between the clutch housing and first turbine - 3.6163 between the first turbine and reactor - 3.6173 between the reactor and pump Since of course the pump is bolted to the clutch housing, these 3 are sufficient to keep everything "spaced apart". Is it ever necessary that the two other thrust washers wear enough to need replacement? The parts book indicates only up to 0.48 oversize on the 3.6233 washer.

While we are on this topic, does anyone remember the size of the line? Is it 5/16?
The adaptors into the trans case are labeled 5/16. G137406

I installed transmission oil cooler lines on a non-Packard (31 Ford Model A Roadster Hot Rod) with a SBC and GM TH-350. I used "rubber" hose for the job. It is a special cooler line rated hose. Made the job much easier than trying to fit metal tubing. Worked well for me.

Thanks. For whatever reason my engine came with some that have a hose on the cooler side. But obviously it's easier/cheaper to do all metal.
Actually, I should be able to pick the ones off my car to use as templates.

Is it OK to make the trans oil cooler lines completely out of metal line? Or are hoses required?

I made a video on disassembling and reassembling the low range brake without using ANY of the special tools. It's a bit clumsy, but not too hard to do.
