Will do Rick...Kirt's initial response is one of taking exception to replacing the A-clutch without going through the trans. So I asked him the bottom line question...what constitutes a bonefide rebuild?...what parts does he "always" replace?...a general rule or more likely based on "specific condition of a particular trans core."
Believe his response will be the latter...I am sure not unlike what Winfred does...he goes by what the failure mode is and how it looks when he tears into it.
Kirt as a professional rebuilder may have a defined procedure for determining what parts need to be replaced as opposed to what parts are elective. Will let you know what he says...may be good supplemental info to Winfred's excellent link.
