If your only problem with an Ultramatic is a leak, complete replacement sounds a bit drastic. I guess you've got a pre-55 as you say filling it is a chore - you could reseal the trans, or cut a hole in the floor over the filler neck, or look for a removeable plate towards the rear over the breather and fill from there.

Leaking seals at the throttle pressure shaft, selector shaft and rear tailshaft can be replaced with the transmission in place.
