350 reverser

I took reverser apart the clutches looks good does anyone know of a measurement for the wear limit, and is it normal for the metal ones to have some blue place on them? Thanks

I have 1 new clutch and one new plate that I can measure for you if you need it.

Replace all surfaces and steels because the blue is from heat and those surfaces are also done rebuild the clutch pack properly at this point also look at the piston and replace it if the seal area is a slight bit wore out This is some times the culprit of the slipping clutch in the first place as the leaking oil will let the pressure drop and the clutch slips burning the steels blue and creating enough heat to warp them or burn them leaving them useless and in need of replacement also .So replace the friction plates the steels and a good close look at the piston sleeve area will also need to be done to see if this is the root to the problem these pistons are expensive but are some times the whole problem to begin with .Digitup.

Ok

New Clutch thickness reading is .113 and the plate thickness is .062. I hope this helps.
