Oh wise ones,
 
I'm rebuilding a TR6 transmission (CD45724) from a early '73 model
(CF341U) and have the laygear (countershaft gear) in place but I've got
.016" clearance between the gear and the rear thrust washer. Specs are
.008"-.012". I bought the thrust washers (along with a rebuild kit) from
Quantum Mechanics, but I don't see a listing from TRF, Moss or anywhere
for thrust washers of various thicknesses. 
The front thrust washer that I removed has been bent slightly, and I can
see that the wear, while minimal was on the high spot. I really didn't
notice it was bent until I began looking at everything more closely
after determining the laygear end float was out of spec.
Should I bend the new thrust washer? Does anyone know where thicker
thrust washers can be found? Or should I just proceed?
 
TIA,
