Hey guys,been awhile sinse I posted,anyway long story short my trans took a dump (burnt up the intermediate clutchs) and Im rebuilding it.
I got the LFP rebuild kit (Stg. 1) and everything is going ok up till I get to the point of rebuilding the forward clutch pack. The kit is supposed to upgrade it to 5 clutchs from 4,along with the extra steel. But when I get all of them in my backing plate sits too high and I can't get the snap ring in the groove. I have even tryed compressing it alittle,but I know it's supposed to have some clearance,right?
Thanks in advanced for the help.

Ahh I forgot to update y'all,lol.
I got my trans finished,the problem I had was fixed by removing the wave plate and machining .040 off the backing plate.
But,I got another question about fittings... I'm removing the bypass and running -06 AN lines to a cooler and a external filter.
The cooler fittings on the side of the case are NPS fittings,I'm gunna try going to a hydraulic supply company sometime this week,but our local performance warehouse and Goodyear store only has NPT to AN fittings.
Is it ok to use a NPT fitting in a NPS thread? If not,what about re-tapping the threads with a NPT tap?
Thanks for the help you guys,your awsome.

WOO! I finished getting it in and it works FLAWLESSLY!!
This is my first trans rebuild,so I'm feeling pretty good,and everything went smooth. It shifts great,that FTVB is really working good,the 1-2 shift feels like someone kicks you in the butt,lol.
BTW,the NPT fittings sealed perfectly,maybe I just got lucky? Idk,but it hasn't leaked a drop,and everything is so simple and clean looking.
