[R129 SL] automatic gearbox update

[Jan Kuylaars]

Ok, now i got an answer from someone with the same problem.
It must be the front seal, and i hope no pump or bearings.
Should it blow out the seal because teh filter was clogged?

Sorry to hear that... I blew out the front seal last summer and it was
500.00 to do the job. The mechanic did the filter at 
the same time. 

I haven't had my motorcycle on the road in 4 years...1982 Honda 750 C
inline four. Needs a lot of work. 
But very quick in its day.
