Admittedly, I'm a bit disappointed with GBox for using an inferior part in my rebuild. There's no excuse for having to pull a leaking tranny after 2500 miles.

Hey it could have been worse:
1. the oil loss could have ruined the new (?) bearings that GBox fitted,
2. the leaking oil could have saturated and ruined the clutch friction plate,
3. you may have confused it with leaking RMS or IMS and replaced them needlessly
4. you may have had to pay an Indie to R&R the box and ship it back to GBox.
This could have been a hugely expensive mistake for both you and GBox. Fortunately ,you did all the work to diagnose and fix the problem and all the R&R .I hope they express their gratitude to you in an appropriate manner. To be fair, the seal may be adequate spec.It may have been a defective seal, seal damaged during installation, gearbox overheated during use/abuse........
I wonder if GBox will contact other customers/Forum members with the same seal to alert them?
