I'm rebuilding my first transmission and I have got it back together for the most part. Does anyone have pics of how the wavy ring and spacer go on right before you put the pump back on? Also, the first time I got it totally back together, the shaft won't spin by hand like the video i watched said it should. I've reassembled it 3 times with the same outcome. I'm pretty sure everything is put together correctly. Is it possibly just too tight to turn by hand with all new parts?

 

any pictures of the part you are talking about?

have you checked the final end play to make sure its with in spec?

 

I can get pics when i get off work.
No, I haven't check the end play.

 

 

Is this how they go in?

 

yep, thats correct.

check end play for proper clearance and make sure the pump halves are assembled correctly.

 

How do you check that?
