Tranny (915) reseal
Does anyone have good information on what seals and gaskets are doable when not completely tearing down a 915 (I've seen full rebuild details, but not seal job)? I have some leaks and would like to address but don't want to do any major breakdown. I know they sell a gasket/seal kit, guess I just get that?

Where are you leaks?
Some places that the factory originally used paper seals don't even require seals with modern sealants. A lot of the usual suspects can be addressed with the gearbox in the car. The big one that cannot is if the mainshaft is leaking by the clutch. For that one, the gearbox has to come out, but it doesn't need to come apart on all but the earliest of 915s.

I've got tranny out and on an engine stand.
Mine appears to be leaking at - Input shaft (in "bellhousing") Flange seals Underneath there are 4 (I think) nuts that allow a panel to come off. Some kind of shift fork something or other. Weaping at the nuts, thought about taking the panel off, but not sure that is doable. Might as well do guide tube seal. Don't think I have any leaks where main sections of the tranny bolt together.
