Putting in the 2nd gear band piston, the band slipped down and the piston shaft missed the little indentation it's supposed to sit in and went over the top of the clip at the end of the band. Because I was using an improvised screw press to compress the spring I was blissfully unaware that I was just wedging the shaft in at an angle. I realized something was wrong only after I got it just about all the way in and something inside went CRACK...and now there are a couple loose bits rattling around inside. Also, the piston shaft it wedged and I can't get it out. John Bange '90 Vanagon "Geldsauger" |
