700R4 Rebuild PT5: Forward Drum Assembly and Clearance Checks

I reassemble the forward drum and perform clutch clearance checks while discussing tips and considerations for assembly along the way.

Viewer's Note: I notate this in the video as well but the forward drum assembled in this clip is not the same drum that was used in the 700R4 seen in the rebuild series...My camera batteries ran out about 3/4 of the way through filming the build up of the 700's drum so failed to capture a significant amount of the work. I had a 1994 4L60E going at the same time so I filmed the build up of that drum and incorporated it into the rebuild series as it was built using the exact same components and assembled via the exact same procedures as the one assembled for the 700R4.

The clearance checks being done in the video does feature the 700R4's actual forward drum as I finally got around to changing the batteries before that portion of the segment was filmed.
