C6 Specification Question

I am rebuilding the C6 on my '69 F250 and I am trying to figure out what the pressure plate to snap ring clearence should be for the Reverse-High Clutch. My book says it should be .022-.036, but I am machining the drum for a second snap ring groove to allow for a total of 5 clutches. The .022-.036 specification is for a 3 clutch pack. Would it be the same?

C6 Specification Question

I would say the clearances would remain the same, but I would call someone like "B&M" or "TCI Automoitive" to double check your clearance figures. It's been a long time since I've set up a C-6
but your numbers seem a little "tight". I'm assuming your also putting in a shift kit and will be using your tranny in a more performance or competitive nature...that tends to call for different clearance numbers than what a stock C-6 would require.
