I think sealed for life means it shouldn't need to be opened for its whole service life, but if need be it can be. I think if you have a problem with a stock one Ford would more likely replace the whole lot rather than pull it apart to fix it.

Posted 02/10/05 05:08 AM Share Posted 02/10/05 05:08 AM Pretty much, like I said in another thread, if it can be built, it can be taken appart if needed, and that applies to safes. Since this is not a safe, but a gearbox, it should be somewhat easier to pull appart...Therefor, parts can be re machined and strengthened/lightened/modified if the right tools and finances permit.
