Hi Blake,

1) The installed seal depth is not decided by a committee, it's determined
by the VW installation tool design shown on Bentley page 32.4.

2) Forget the seal adhesive idea, only use the VW recommendation to wet the
seal with ATF prior to installation as shown on Bentley page 32.4.

3) As for my suggestion to use a Vasoline Petroleum Jelly packing to secure
the T/C seal garter spring during the actual T/C radial seal installation,
this is a standard procedure with A/T rebuilders.

Don't experiment with double seals or seal adhesive, just follow VW
procedure!

Regards,         John
