4L60e forward clutch backing plates?

So I am rebuilding a 4L60e for the first time, and am having a clearance issue with the forward clutches. I am measuring about .074 of travel at least. Maybe a little more.

My backing plate is marked 'C'. Is GM the only source for thicker backing plates? Is that the only way to take up some clearance?

Thanks

btw, I can't find any backing plates.....

Nobody has a source for part numbers? Nothing? Entirely new topic?

Dealer item, if not go to Transtar or Dacco transmission parts.

Whatever it takes seems to have apply plates and pressure plates. I am assuming the pressure plate is also the backing plate.....right?

If so, is there a difference between 700r4 plates and 4l60e plates?

btw, if anyone has a good technique of getting the damn reverse input piston back in the drum, please let me know. ****** won't go in without bending the outer seal. ******* ******
