Rebuilding a '25 tranny and replacing all bushings. If I wasn't guided differently, I would hone clearances to 0.0015" - 0.0025". Am I safe with these clearances? (triple gears included)

Thanks for all your help!

NO! Too tight. This link is to a good place to start with the info you are looking for.

I have done seven over the years and hone till each one slides on easy. I mark the tripple gears with a punch and fit each one to it's shaft. Never have any problems. I always tight is fine! Do the larger ones the same way and assemble with assemply oil used for engine work also. I apply it to all friction serfaces. Works for me.

Thanks to all that has responded. Your experiences and suggestions have helped me to getting my tranny done right.

Obviously, this question has created a lot of controversy on understanding what is meant in a long string of documentation on clearances and what is needed.

A special thanks to Redmodelt for the links he provided and that I enjoyed reading through completely.
