Jeff, The seal between the tranny and final drive is just a thin paper thing... 5 bucks at the dealer. If you're thinking about replacing/rebuilding (good idea), I recommend Weddle Engineering out of California. About $750 plus shipping and core charge and they'll hook you right up....even give you the silly paper seal. Here's their info:
