what are the main causes for the seal to break down?
Overfilling the box is one cause
I would that think that for any of the following reasons the seal would breakdown
Too hot
Too cold - like minus 100
Lack of fish
Polar bear attack
Can't get up from under the ice
Hope this helps i have a included a picture of a new seal to help you

I thought you had totally lost it there for a second John. Had to re-read the question twice.
Wrong fluid could cause a failure contamination possibly causing overheating

not a bearing thenOriginally Posted by Nick VR4
i can see why u are called nutter john:
Nah, not usually. It often just 'goes'.not a bearing then
There is an inherent design fault with VR4 boxes. the oil is not filtered correctly due to the direction of flow, hence the common failure of the TC seal.

^^^^ is correct but the biggest reason it fails is because there was a design floor in the tc seal, witch has now been redesigned.
Hmmm.... I agree there does seem to be a recurrent problem with the T/C seal, but this stuff about the ATF flow being wrong?.... I don't buy it, especially when the modified T/C seal clears up the problem....
its shame the the redesigned seal is not a recall issue
"Finishing second means you are the first person to lose"................ (Gilles Villeneuve)
so this redesigned seal, it is what mitsi sell now for w5a51's?
I think so. Maybe Richy can elaborate on the difference between the two?
nope
lol. Does anyone have the part numbers for the old and new? you could probably find the info in caps
yes thank you
