Subject:      auto trans 2nd gear brake band piston
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi folks,


My 2nd gear brand piston cover was leaking.  I did
some research in the archives and found that it is
necessary to drop the valve body to reinsert the
piston at the end of the repair.  Everyone had
mentioned that the rods "fall out of the pockets" when
you pop the cover off.
Following this advice, I removed the valve body first,
and then 2nd gear brake band cover.  When I removed
the piston (watching from underneath all the while),
nothing seemed to pop out other than the piston and
cover.  It looks like it will fit back in fine, as if
it were never necessary to remove the valve body.
The transmission has been in Park from the start of
the repair.


What am I missing here?
Any advice appreciated,
Greg Stelz
