Any tips on getting the bigger clutch pack (reverse i think) installed? I put them in the tranny, and try to put the basket back in, but it stops about 1/8" from fully seated.. Been trying for a while now. Same amount of friction plates ans steels as factory and soaked in ATF.
 
I'm not sure about the reverse clutch pack, not sure why anyone would want to upgrade reverse ;)

If you mean the front clutch, I did a tech article about it a while back here:

I think I know what you're talking about, because it took me a few tries of getting the basket back into the trans before it seated all the way. What you need to make sure of, is that the inner teeth of the clutches line up with the splines on the trans side.

I circled what I'm talking about in red:

You need to get the teeth on the inner part of the clutch disks lined up as straight as possible. I used a pick, you can actually see it there in the picture, but you can use a small screw driver or whatever. Just get those teeth lined up so they will slide all the way on the spines and allow the basket to seat all the way into the trans.

Because they came in the rebuild kit so why not use them LOL. The plate that goes between the outer clutch plate (the really thick one) was warped, i just used an extra reverse steel to replace it, works the same
