Take the piston out of the forward drum then thorougly clean and inspect it. Once you have done so, if there is no structural damage, bluing or other concerns like worn input shaft splines, it can prob be reused.
The truck was sitting for 7 months at my grandparents house and it leaks a lot. Brought it home and forgot to check the fluid and burnt it up. That’s what I’m assuming at least. I went to check the fluid after it started having problems shifting and it smelled very burned and very black
Hmm..not likely you completely burnt it up as described by failing to check fluid level, unless you have reason to believe it was leaking and low to begin with. I ask as the forward clutch is always applied when you're in a forward pattern range position (Drive, D2 and D1 aka Manual Low) so it's not often we see that clutch pack burnt...Inspect the lip seals to see if they hardened as that would explain it (sitting for months, especially over the summer time) can potentially allow the seals to harden enough to only partially seal when put to work after the long break.
Weird I’m not sure. The lip seals looked alright just old and not terribly dried out. The truck was sitting for about 15 years in a storage unit with that transfusion in it. The previous ownwr had the original 400 swapped for the 350. I have only out about 750 mile on it sense resurrecting it from the storage unit.
One should have been included in your paper and rubber kit aka overhaul kit - perhaps double check....Also, if the 2-3 acc piston you have is plastic, replace it with an aluminum one.
That was a step backwards ...
