I've been collecting all the bits to complete the rebuild of my A type overdrive. I've completed installing the annulus and bearings in the rear housing and have good end float. I have the annulus thrustwasher and planet gears in place. I have the Moss# 866-560 thrust washer between the planet gear housing and sunwheel. After placing the thrust washer and spacer on the sunwheel I put the main housing on and installed the main shaft. The sun wheel end float should be .014-.020. I have .2. I think have every washer and bushing called for installed. I have read that to install the thrust washer in the planet gear housing requires the removal of one of the planet gears. I was able to slide the 866-560 thrust washer into place with out doing that. It's just a flat brass bushing with a taper on the side that faces the sun wheel. I can't figure out why I have such a gap. It does seem like the sun wheel is too low in the planet gear housing in how it fits within the planet gears. Does anyone have measurements of these items or have an idea of what I may be missing? It's a 22 61985 unit.
Thanks,
