Subject:Using transmission from van with engine fire?
From:Paul Guzyk

I have a manual tranny that came out of an 86 Westy that encountered a medium grade engine fire.

The outide of the tranny looks messy, but the transmission worked fine before the fire.

Can I just change the oil and externally accessible rubber seals?

If so, does anyone have a list of externally accessible rubber/gaskets I need to buy?   Or do I have to open up the entire gearbox?
