J shift rebuild - spacer on front drive output shaft?

[Ol'Blue]

I understand J shift Tcase has no snap ring and keyed thrush washer on the rear shaft but is there a spacer in between the gear and bearing?

I believe this thick spacer was there as shown in the pics but not sure.

I should have taken more pics in disassembly.

Yes.

Thanks Viperwolf, I just found an old thread where you provided similar info and also the additional spacer that goes behind the retainer. So we are going together like this. Bearings is in the oven.

By the way, I see that tcase has T type rails. Did you swap those in, or were they like that? Ford did make some like that before the switch to J rails. I have serial numbers somewhere.
