So my tranny is leaking a lot of oil and the mechanic says it might be one of the early ones with a main seal that must be installed over the entire length of the shaft from inside the transmission. If so he says it would be better to buy a new tranny than try to seal up the one I have.

Was there a recall of early 915 tranny's? Did the main shaft seal design change during early in 915 history? How hard is to reseal a leaking transmission? Will any 915 fit in my 72 or do I need to look for a similar early unit? How can you tell buying a used tranny if it is any good? Currently I only grind first if I try to go into it too quickly from a stop.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
