Hey guys. This is coming off a thread working on a 5.0 drivetrain + swap found here here, but thought it might be better to post in the trans section.
TLDR, I finished rebuilding the inside of a 4R70W following the transmission bench videos on YouTube but have yet to finish everything in the pan.
At the start of part 2-6 they talk about how you should be able to turn it by hand and have some endplay on the input shaft. What I have is a bit difficult to turn by hand and does not seem to have any endplay. If I test fit the torque converter and try to turn it with that it spins just fine and does not seem to rub anywhere. Along the way I replaced all the bearings and made sure to put them in the right way around, also did a few test fits and everything seemed fine.
Mainly wondering how much I should worry about this. It is starting to get cold where I am at and i'm wondering if that might be the cause. Should I pull the core parts back out and start over, or do you think im ok?
