Default What Transmition Seals To Replace

OK Folks

I have found a repair place in Germany to fix my Front Trans Seal. What other seals should I replace and now that they are bringing down the trans should I replace anything else. Also where can I order the parts on line and have them shipped by the USPS. Also looking for shocks and everytime I loook at a web site they say they don't ship by mail. Any suggestions?

I replaced the Ft and Rear seals plus the pan gasket when I installed the 2800 stall converter. Click on "my Corvette photos" for pic's of the install. Good Luck

Default still cannot spell

Front seal, rear seal,o-ring on speedo sensor, tv cable seal, dipstick "boot" seal are all quick and easy to do with trans out. I would also recommend changing the shifter shaft seal. No one, including a lot of trans rebuilders, change that one. Pan gasket and filter also.

Have the shop check your rear-main seal on the engine. If it was leaking or if your engine is high milage it might be wise to replace this since the transmission has to be removed to replace this engine seal. The engine does not have to come out to replace this seal.
