Inspection of a 904 torqueflite
Thrust washers start out gray and wear down to their copper center. So; you have all thrust washers worn down past the gray and no washer on the pump and you still have only .030 endplay....NO WAY. "Out put shaft has gouges cut in it from the cast iron rings." (?).. "The man outpushaft thick washer......snap ring wore a groove in it as well....same as the other one....complete copper color on the back." (?) Yes pics please.
