Subject:Re: AT Seal and Gasket Replacement

Hi folks,

I have been following this thread because my auto
tranny has developed a small leak.  It runs and shifts
fine.  I was planning on just replacing the pan gasket
and brake band cover o-ring.  How would you know if
the piston seals are leaking?

Thanks,

Hi Walter,

I didn't remove my transmission. I just replaced the
pan gasket, the
two 2nd gear brake band piston seals, and two brake
band cover O-rings. I
bought the new circlip at my local VW dealer and
replaced it as a
precaution. It probably wasn't necessary. Sounds like
maybe you have a kit
for a complete transmission overhaul...

Regards,

Alan
