hi all,   the auto = transmission in my 85 westy has been leaking for the last few weeks, so today I crawed under = her to take a look, and found that the leak was coming from the 2nd gear brake = band piston. So I popped off the cover like the manual said and pulled out = the piston. One of the rubber seals were broken and the little metal clip = was broken as well. so I ordered a new seal from VW dealer, put it on the piston = and went to reassemble the whole thing it would not go back in. It seems that the = rod in the center { that pushes the piston} was out too far to replace the = cover. is there some trick to this? please any one who has any ideas let me know . = thanks      Alan
