904 Transmission Stopped Going Into Gear

Everything I can see about the rear bearing looks like it is correctly seated.

For sure it is correctly seated on the shaft. Its snug against the shoulder on the shaft and the lock ring is secured in as shown in the pictures. I also gently tapped the shaft into the housing and it felt fully seated. When I look through the snap ring slot and the speedometer assembly hole, the bearing appears fully seated in its recess in the ext housing.

The grey thrust washers both were .049" thick. on post #67

All washers are original.

I think I measured the pump thrust washer and not the forward drum washer because I did not disassemble the forward drum/input shaft sub assembly . I will investigate.

I still do not know why the input shaft had no endplay before I started disassembly. The root cause of the failure in my opinion, was the collapsed trans cooler line that caused the trans to fry. I have no idea what that did to the internals....

But in the end, if I get the proper end play on the input shaft and the direct drum is engaged properly with the sun gear shell and everything spins freely, I should be ok, correct?
