Last year, I had the transmission filter cap spring a leak and spill fluid in smokey glory all over the street (previous owner touched it last so I take no blame lol). I got a new filter housing, threw it back on the road and soon after the car started showing signs of clutches slipping. Both clutch pressures were decent (dunno if the pressures on the clutches are open or closed loop) and it was obviously clutch 1 that was worse. I figured it was for sure the clutches and ordered a cheap kit off eBay (car has 280,000kms, no plans on tuning it or whatever, forgive me for not wanting to spend a lot, we'll see how it goes). Last month after it got much worse, I parked it started pulling the transmission out and today I finally pulled apart the clutchpack. Looks like some chunks of clutch have worked their way around and I have no idea what the minimum thickness should or shouldn't be
After looking at it, I don't know if I should be concerned about the basket or not. It looks like it bottomed out, and I'm not sure if there's excessive play in the trust bearing, although it feels decent.
Has anyone out there seen a basket bottom out like this before? Any other concerns before I potentially waste all my time to put it all back together? This car is 13 years old and I'm not expecting a perfect rebuild, I just want it to run.
