How long does a rebuilt trans last on the shelf before the seals get brittle.

A pretty long time. Shrinkage is what they suffer if they're stored in a hot climate.
Have you got a leaker?
No I have a TH400 that I had rebuilt. And I'm going to sell it to a friend of mine.
It's been sitting a long time and I was wondering if it will be alright.
Thanks

The determining factors for the seals holding up on a fresh or shelved unit is the parts behind them.
Front pump bushing, shift shaft bore, tail shaft bushing with a good yoke to slide into it, etc.
If a competent builder put it together, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Pan gaskets can leak from transporting it or rough handling during the process of getting from point A to point B. Easy correction there.
