Go to transmission part USA and get the seal kit for all the clutch packs and input shaft. It is only 94 bux. I already killed two set of Kiggly's front clutches. I believe the seals were leaking which were why they were burning up.

Do not use the John Deere Hygard crap. It will foam up and evaporate. I already destroy one tranny because of this stuff. I don't know if Kiggly was adding stabilizer to the John Deere Hygard but it foamed up and disappear on me. I had at least 10 quarts in the tranny and converter. I noticed some foaming after the 2nd pass but did not know oil can evaporate that quickly. After 7 passes, the tranny stopped shifting. When I drain it, about 1/2 quart came out of the pan. I had zero leak anywhere.
I tried the Castrol Import Tranny oil. It will foam too. One quart of B&M will stop the foaming. I would not recommend it.
My friend is using Valvoline synthetic transmission fluid for import. It has sp4. It has not foam up at all. It need no stabilizer.
I like to see some come out with a better snap ring to hold the each clutch pack together. I noticed the front clutch wearing unevenly. Only 1/2 of the friction surfaces and metal surfaces are wearing out. I believe the clutch pack is deflecting at an angle.
