No they dont go very oftern, if ya recon ya box you will need them but this is usully entrusted to a specialist that would do the seals any way. I have never had problems with gearbox oil seals

If ya get it and there is gearbox oil leaking from it then yes change them, i have never had to bother changing the seals on any gearbox i have had/owned etc

For a good F20 i would pay no more than £120 if the box looks good and dry dont bother but i can tell ya want piece of mind so change all the gaskets and seals cos its obviously easier to do out the car. Get a haynes and take ya time. All it will cost ya is ya tiime and a few sheckles for the gakets.
