im replacing the B2 piston in my 85 300SD....im almost done, and have gotten everything back into the tranny....ive run into a problem though...ill run down exactly what i did first then tell what the problem is.....

pulled everything out...
replaced metal sleeve with new white plastic one...
pushed new black bushing in to where the old one was, pretty much flush with the metal surrounding it...
replaced the large O-ring that seals cover...
put in the new B2 piston...
put the cover on and pushed in so i could put the C-clip back on....

when i pushed in on the cover, it went in just like it did when i was removing the old piston, only it didnt spring back out...its stuck pushed in...i can see the O-ring seal, and the cover is about a quarter inch in from the C-clip....is this normal? will it pop back out once the B2 piston is engaged, putting pressure on the cover? i just need to know whether this is right or not, and quickly! thanks very much
