This input drum came out of the case in one piece, but let’s see what’s inside...

As you may have noticed by now, this transmission has no bands. All friction parts are clutch plates. And this drum has no less than three clutch packs inside. Let’s find ’em...

Time for another special tool! To continue tearing into the drum, we need to remove a snap-ring that’s holding back a large, strong spring (UD clutch return spring). And to remove that snap-ring, we first use a transmission spring compressor:

And with that, the input drum is now disassembled. You could go a little further, and press the input shaft out of the input hub, but I’m going to skip this step. I can get to the seals on the input shaft without taking the hub off.

Next, we’ll take apart the pump assembly... 41TE Teardown, Pt. VI

I’ve seen this one before, still fascinating to see.

Those clutches didn’t look too bad other than the OD ones (at least from the provided pictures)

Yeah, no signs of the steels getting hot, either. This one seems to be in pretty good shape.
