Interesting thread by Bremble. Good post by Sergei-e as well.

Bremble notes in his thread that he has seen this particular failure mode many times on 5hp24 transmissions; a failed o-ring on the B clutch drum. When you communicate with him, you should ask his opinion on whether fluid changes impact the life of those o-rings.

Actually, given that both swissfrank's and sergei-e's transmissions failed due to a single snap ring breaking, you could also ask his opinion on whether changing the transmission fluid extends the life of those snap rings.
