If you want to replace the direct clutch seal you can take the clutch to a machine shop that has an arbor press.

Other than that there isn't a lot special about the transmission, although beating on sockets is not my favorite way to change bushing. Using sockets in a press is okay, but for regular usage I'd prefer machined drivers.

I knew someone who had the Ultramatic rebuilding stand. It had a table with compartments for all the pieces as they were removed from the trans.

The lining on the bands is not thick because they are holding members. Reverse simply holds the annulus.
