Depends on your tranny code.  Code RDP:

Piston to cover seal-010 323 487B   51.2mm
Piston to case seal -010 323 525C   71.6mm

All other codes RDN, RDS, RDT, KAE, KAM, KAP:

Piston to cover seal-010 323 487C   61.4mm
Piston to case seal -003 323 525A   97mm

If by chance you don't know your trans code, the
relative size of the piston and it's rings should give
it away.  BTW, what are the trannys symptoms?  Did it
have delayed hookup/engagement especially when
shifting into reverse?  Place the selector in R and
stays in N for about 5-10 seconds?
