The spacing appears to be taken care of by the snap ring selection. There
are different philosophies on paper gaskets. Did your small parts kit come
with them? On the one hand, they swell up with oil to make a better seal.
That is what the old theory says anyway. On the other hand, I have seen
them shrink with age, split, and leak. Most people go with RTV nowadays, as
they have some to believe that it "lasts forever".

One other rebuild matter comes to mind. When I took this tranny
apart there were no paper gaskets. Just good old RTV....
Do I need the paper gaskets? Does not having them affect spacing
in the tranny?

Bill,

Check the spelling on that "Michrometer" again. I am familiar with
micrometers, but two inch? Craftsman has an external snap ring plier, that
is every bit as capable as two screwdrivers. There is nothing better for
------ing stubborn battery terminals.

Hi Earle,
But that's the way it's spelled in all my Real repair manuals, and
pronounced: http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?...wav=micrometer
You may say: http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?...wav=micrometer
Not having to get grease under your fingernails while using a
michrometer.
Snap ring pliers would take me out of my amateur standing, besides
I could make one in a couple of minutes.
