Thanks
You can try to renew the seal with ATF additive, but generally you are much better served by replacing the seal. While you are at it, and since you have to have the tranny out of the car, may not be a bad idea to replace all the seals at the same time. You can also check the condition of the valve body, oil pump, clutch packs and the bands.

The 123 dash will not fit the 126.
