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

A pretty long time. Shrinkage is what they suffer if they're stored in a hot climate.
Have you got a leaker?What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

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.What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?
Well I've sure gotten old too so don't worry about it! I've had two bypass surgeries, new knees, fought prostate, cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,...
