Ah gotcha, as long as that wasn't too too long ago the seals should be fine I think. I work at a place that makes industrial equipment and the seals we used 20 years ago are generally still holding up (and this is with frequent use) so I would hope anything from just a decade or two ago would be fine. Likewise the several clutch linings should not degrade over time.

It's also worth noting that these tend to leak some fluid out the vent from use, until the level ends up reading near the low mark on the dipstick. If this happens, just consider it normal. Packard released a service letter on how to relocate the vent to avoid this problem, but it's seldom necessary to do that.
