I'm really hoping that someone can give me a decent cost comparison here. I have a '94 400EC with '98 vintage 7.4 MPIs and Hurth 630A Marine Gear. My Starboard 630 is leaking ATF profusely. It's leaking from the filter cover area even after replacing the old filter and o-rings, It also seems to be leaking from both the input and output seals. The unit definitely needs to be pulled and either repaired or replaced. What I'm trying to guage is the cost of repair vs. replace. It looks like I can get a new ZF drop-in 63A unit for ~$2500 delivered. Has anyone purchased one of these units from fredwarner1.net? https://www.fredwarner1.net/product...ransmission-gearbox-hurth-hsw630a-3312001017/
If so are there any gotchas that I need to be aware of?
The other option would be to have the seals replaced on the existing unit. I've been doing tons of research and I can't find a price estimate for this anywhere. Does anyone have any experience with this? What would it cost to have a qualified shop replace the seals on my existing unit.
Thanks in advance for your help.
