OK, we know that if you provide pressure to the piston in the drum that it will compress the plates. But what you see in the video is not intuitive. Did you get anywhere with it ?
Installed the new D drum no issue. Putting everything back together and have an enormous amount of play in the Spider Clutch Bell. It was like this when I took it apart but figured it was due to the blown out D Drum. Were looking at about an 1/8 of slop and never saw anything like this in any trans I ever worked on. Anyways I am not comfortable with this and would appreciate any feedback. Reviewed the schematics and nothing missing or out of place. Might be how it's supposed to be but I can't put this together without confirmation. Thanks all.

Talked to a ZF guy, he says as long as the splines line up should be good. As for the clutch pack to tighten clearances, I can't see how that works cause they are limited by the retaining rings. All together now with new regulator valve and ready for the car. Waiting on my son to pop it back in and see how it goes. Still I can't comprehend a design like this. I'll update soon as I have a clue what happens.

I have the manual which includes the clutch pack clearances. But it is a bit late for that now. If something was not lined up, I doubt you could have fitted it all back together. From the video, it looks like the F clutch is just leaning towards the back because it is not supported yet.
Did you use the Sonnax kit for the pressure valve?

Clutches are pretty much new, the trans was already rebuilt with an upgraded D drum that broke so no worries about clearances. The spider bell had the same amount of play when it was completed as in the video.
We used the transgo kit, less than $35.00 these days. Just drop it in.
