You could always get one from the scrappy :blink:

 

If you're only topping up any ATF is better than leaving it to get low, if you're contemplating a change you should use a semi-synthetic to guarantee longer life (exceeding ATF 3+ standard).

 

Frankly the method and thoroughness of changing and flushing the oil is more important than brand. You need to change it all, and this requires some homebuilt plumbing to achieve.

I would not dream of "advising" you to re-use the seal, however visual inspection may well lead you to rightly conclude that the seal can safely be re-used.

 

OK? :blink:

I must admit the thought of using the old seal did occur to me,but I just dont want to get stuck if its worn,or disintergrates upon removal
