[W126 Coupe] Re: Transmission Question

[Jonathan Hodgman]

Tracey,
Funny, I didn't know this was a rebuild. In speaking w/ my re builder
he said 'I get a lot of rebuilt transmissions in because of this seal.
 Almost no one replaces it, they put in new clutches, you name it, but
w/o replacing the seal the problem is still there...'

Who did this rebuild?  Was it Adsit?

Jonathan
