Automatic transmission rebuild+ custom oil cooler and problems

[blackglasspirate]

Yup, we broke down in Monticello, Utah. Then limped over to Durango and are now rebuilding the trans in a friend's garage and staying here until we can get back on the road. I got nearly all the parts I need now (washers from Alika are on the way) but I ran into a problem with the end play on the D&R clutch. Turns out the aftermarket piston I got is too short so it leaves excessive end play.

I ordered new pistons from WIT which should be here Monday but may also need a 1.5mm circlip, which I can't find anywhere except Germany! In the end I may be fine with my 2mm clip, but we'll see.

Either way, right now I've done all I can and am just waiting for parts :/
