Abstract
In an automotive automatic transmission, a force applying piston mounted on a servo pin is supported at both sides of the piston. A first end of the servo pin is conventionally supported in a servo pin bore. A second, extended end is supported in a specially configured support bore formed in the assembly cover. Excentric loading and excessive wear of the servo pin and servo pin bore, which can result in damage to the piston, is reduced or eliminated thereby.
