Pulling the seal was (in my case) a lot easier said than done. With the
trans out of the S3 I took it to a trans expert who had the right sort
of puller. It took considerable force and ended up breaking the seal but
fortunately did not damage the housing. I guess after 37 years it was
kind of used to being where it was.....

   I agree, much easier said than done. I spent an hour at the
workbench carefully prying and tearing it out, broken piece after broken
piece being sure not to damage the housing. Of course someone with a
true talent for these things may be able to do it from under the car.
