transmission removal

[william rogers]

I am going to remove the transmissiom on my Euro 86 500SE next week and replace the leaking front seal I will also do rear seal and new mounts while it's out. I put a new pan on it last week and that solved it's leaking problem but now can see the front seal is leaking bad.

I have removed and installed many American AT's as well as quiet a few ricearoanies. Any hints on this job on the 126 will be helpfull.Any special tools needed to do do seal or tricky bolts.

This transmission has a goodly pause engaging reverse compared to my 81 SD so will probably need a rebuild in future,but would like to strecth it's life out as long as I can as have other projects ,would a better quality AT fluid like REd Line help???
thanks....... William Rogers.....
