Not sure if you can get the clutch seals in on all the clutch pistons without special tools.
I remember asking a trans rebuilder shop if I could rent a 1st, reverse clutch piston seal installer tool from them for a different trans and their reply was , oh we don't replace them , they don't give much trouble. I wound up buying the plastic cone for a whopping $6.00. I guess if you take your time , you will be OK.
