If you are talking about a type 1 transaxle, I've always been able to
install it with a block of wood(short section of dowel rod is very
nice) and a few light taps with a hammer. Or you can use the blunt end
of a screwdriver and a hammer if you have a screwdriver that you don't
particularly care if the tip gets damaged(read: craftsman
screwdriver). PVC pipe would work as well, the idea is to not hit the
seal so hard that you damage it, and make sure that you drive it in
square with the bore.
