Inspection of a 904 torqueflite

glhx said

I do have another thin snap ring now
The a&a kit has .040,.062, and .085

So I could either run 2 thin ones and have .005 clearance or run the thick one and have .002 clearance. Or run the .062 and have closer to .020 clearance

What do you guys recommend

I run my race trans at .005-.010 because it has roller thrust washers that need to stay in place. But with stock thrust washers I would say .020 would be good. Running it too tight like .002 well why run it at either extreme of the tolerance. A local trans builder told me to never run too tight because oil cannot get in to lubricate parts.
As you run the trans, it will loosen up some, so you could run .020
and have room for loosening without getting too loose.
The A&A snap ring kit will get you a better tolerance for sure.
