I went ahead and tore into my old transmission today, the one that stopped going forward. I got it apart pretty easy. I just want to make sure I have this right. The first drum I pulled out, after removing the bands is the OD drum right? Then the planetary and sun gear, and then there was another drum with clutch plates. This makes a total of two drum assemblies with clutch plates, I'm assuming one is Direct and OD?.I then removed the center support and the intermediate band and another drum with clutch plates, which were totally fried, no wonder it wouldn't go forward. So this makes 3 total assemblies containing clutch plates correct? I didn't see any problem with the planetaries except a little wear on the intermediate. I also noticed all the thrust washers were in good shape and most of them were torrington bearings. THe OD planetary was welding makes me wonder if it's been rebuilt before. Now I just need a pretty complete kit including bands, friction plates and all the seals and gaskets I need. Lots to chose from on Ebay. Hoping for a little direction here. I also want to redo the governor with a new weight.
What do you think about these plates? Only one plate had friction material left on it.
