Abstract
A transmission includes a case, a clutch pack, a piston. The case defines a bore that transitions along a step from a first to a second diameter. The piston is disposed within the bore. The piston has first and second seals that engage the case along the first and second diameters, respectively. The piston defines a chamber that is encompassed by the piston, the case, the first seal, and the second seal. The piston is configured to engage a clutch pack when hydraulic fluid is channeled into the chamber.
