There is a front and back to the retaining rings - make sure you face it the correct direction so it seats properly.
It's seated correctly, however, I suspect the act of compressing the retaining ring for a second time (first being original installation) ensure it doesn't spring back fully. For my peace of mind I replaced it.

12 bucks is cheap for piece of mind. I’ll make sure to get one a head of time.
There have been many threads on the transmission oil migration issue, with the potential fix of installing a modified “fat flat” clutch rod. But, I couldn’t find any reference to the remove/replace procedure. So, attached is the procedure from the FSM. But, I have a few questions:
- in reference to step #1, to close the clutch master cylinder fluid port....what/where is that?
- I’m a spec kind of guy. In reference to step 1.b, to put a cable strap eyelet between the lever and housing. How much of a gap is requjred?
- after replacing the rod, has anyone done the “Measure Release Plate Movement” procedure? Is it really necessary?
Where would I purchase the fat clutch rod?
I had the primary vent installed and still have fluid transfer.
thank you.
