I got a picture of the factory setup but I can't get it to load, so I'll do my best in text.

Here's how the factory setup is: c=clutch s=spacer sh=shim

spider gear-->C/ S / S /C/ S / S /C/.035"shim (your shim size may differ)

Here's how I put mine back together:

spider gear-->C/ S /C/ S /C/ S /C/.035" shim

Total measure of the factory setup is .655" on each side.
Total measure of my setup is .675" on each side.

Which is to say that I tightened up each side by .020" over the factory specs. Since my clutches were worn so bad I actually went .032 (on each side) over the tired clutchpack that was in there. (Remeasured the old clutches this evening)

I tried a .040" shim, but I couldn't get it together so I settled for the .035". I've also got 1 extra clutch and 1 less spacer.

Try it with the thickest shim you can get in there and work you way down 'til you get the assembly to roll back into the carrier.

Good luck dude. E-mail me if you have anymore ???

BTW: The Ford rebuild kit only comes with 6 clutches. You need to get an extra kit unless you can find the clutches separately.
