just put same number of steels and friction on each side. it will go in tighter than coming out.i would replace the spring that pushes out to.

That was the best directions I found. I just rebuilt mine last week. I used 4 clutches per side and shimmed it all together as tight as I could. I just made sure I used the same amount of shim on both sides, ended up being .010 and i could just barley get the spiders in...it works great!

Oh, and I used royal purple Max gear and that already has the modifier in it.

I shim it so I can just barely roll the spider gears in also

well i just got them today, they're already prearranged in the sfssfsfshim pattern. looks like i can't even mess it up. however i didn't open the bag, but it looks like it only came with one size shim, a .030. is this going to be all i need?
and its just the clutches i need to soak in fm right? not the steel too.
