Thanks guys, you've provided the confidence I need to attempt to do
this one of these evenings.

I just put about a quart of oil in my current leaking trans and
cleaned up my new/useds 020 so I can install all new seals.  I don't
think I want to open it up yet to install the peloquin but I'm still
thinking about it.
