2 pins in the trunion allow no cocking of the L shaft in the seal, 1 pin allows the R shaft to cock/wobble around as it is a slip fit in the trunion, Granted it is a minute amount.
Wonder if putting 2 pins in the right side would give equal seal life?  |
I just had one apart the other day. Only one pin in both sides. Parts book only shows one pin in both......

Nope. Same.
All I've ever had to change the seal wasn't hard. By all theory, that trans shouldn't ever be able to run hot enough to cook a seal. That would be over 200°.
My best guess is that the LH side is more protected having all that linkage in front of it. I would also be willing to bet that if I would disassemble the hydro and change the bearing it would stop the issue..... but that's just a guess.
