1. Rotate the transmission case so the transmission case cover side is facing up.
2. Apply automatic transmission fluid to the new seals.
3. Install the new inner (510) and outer (512) piston seals onto the low and reverse clutch piston (511).
4. Apply automatic transmission fluid to the seal surfaces of the transmission case.
5. By hand, press the low and reverse clutch piston (511) into the transmission case until seated. Do not damage the seals.

6. Install the low and reverse clutch spring assembly (513) onto the low and reverse clutch piston (511), indexing the springs to the piston bosses.
