Fiber thrust washer

I check/set the endplay before the VB goes on. With the trans vertical and the output shaft free-hanging you can lever up the sunshell with a dial-indicator on the input.
I'm measuring with the dial indicator clamped to the bell housing with it flat on it's back. Push input all the way in, zero, pull out. Just by feel it seems like a lot and as you can see measuring 0.020 over max. Guess of I didn't have to do it at least twice I wouldn't learn anything.
