See picture.....

B3 clutch pack thickness can be measured without any further disassembly. FSM describes how to make this measurement. If I remember correctly, the fix for an off spec condition is to use varying thicknesses of the steel discs. I'm not sure, but I think this might be more applicable the first time a given tranny is assembled or if any of the steel discs are replaced--if the steel discs were correct when the tranny was initially built, and they are not replaced, they should be correct again with new friction discs....

I'm just a DIY wrench, maybe a real tansmission expert can confirm this.....
