Then after you get the piston out you have to remove the bushing from the tranny, which was the hardest part physically, not much room and easy to drop pieces in the tranny. there's no way to grab it so you have to mercilessly pry it out without wedging the lever inside that it actuates. There's an outer seal that prys out first. Once I got that out I thought it was all downhill until putting the piston back in with the new bushing, when the dogbone fell into the tranny! This led to pulling the pan again, looking and looking and finding it on top of the filter, had to pull that to get it, just glad in didn't disappear in there! Then it's put the cover in (not pinching the o-ring this time) and the snap ring. This is leaving out the tedious details like the repetitive jacking the car, then jacking the tranny to pull the rear support, then rebolting it and lowering the car every time I took a break so as not to get a ticket for car maintainance in a city lot
