Are you sure the previous mechanic actually changed the 1st seal?
just because they billed you and kept your van for weeks doesn't mean
it was.

hows the 'NEW' one look/feel   like it'll last?

Hello All:
I recently had my Auto Trans pulled from my 90 Carat and had the Torque
Converter Seal replaced (for the
second time in a year and a half) The mechanic found the seal to be
very brittle...you can snap little
pieces off the inside diameter easily. He said he doesn't think it's
from excessive heat...everything
about the trans and converter looks fine. The seal is onlyt about a
year old (replaced by a different
mechanic)...anyone ever encounter this before?
Cheers! Kevin
