Is this 3/4 clutch right?
I prefer to use the thicker steels near the thinest backing plate in this case the top

By looking at the picture I'm wondering if you are going to get all those plates in the drum. I think by looking at it you are only going to use 8 frictions and 7 steels. I could be wrong but with the thickness of the pressure and apply plates you will never get all 9 frictions in the drum. I believe that you have different thickness steels to adjust the over all clutch pack clearance. Also it appares as you have two different thickness frictions as well. Just my 2 cents. Vince

Thats a good point , I didnt really look at what they appeared to be since he said he had a .28 clearance I assumed he had allready measured them in the drum,
Have you actually allready installed them in the drum and gotten that clearance?

I think you will be fine I would put the thicker steels towards the top though to help with bowing possibility

Theory says that the thickest should go near the top, but from from taking apart hundreds of 700R4/4L60E transmissions, and reading how the 3-4 clutches and steels wear, the opposite seems to be true. I would use the thickest steels near the bottom, as these are the first ones to apply, and "see" the most heat.
I would agree if the stepped plate set up likes in the 700R4 or if the thinnest backing plate was on the bottom like alot of set ups are. But generally as a rule I always went with thickest steels toward thinnest end or backing /apply plates since they are more likley to bow
