The front and rear seal in an auto trans are like a grease seal that you will find on wheel hubs with drum brakes or disc brake rotors and rear axles. I am not familiar with that model trans in the jeep in question , but any auto trans should would have similar seals . I personally want to try and research this trans to back up my claim , but I'm sure that once the trans and t-case are down , you would be dealing with extracting a seal the traditional way you would any earlier design. I understand the concern for logistics , it isn't like you would be performing a tune up , we're talking about dropping a t-case and trans which require at the minimum a good floor jack designed to accommodate and support a transmission. Two people can pull it off with the jeep off the ground high enough , a high enough lift installed is a plus in this case . You know it's just the case of getting to that seal. Nominally , that is all that is required is the seal swap , but I would want to know if there are other concerns such as the bushings in the pump to be contended with ? I personally have never heard of this being the case , but would want to know beforehand as anyone else would . I don't think it would be much different than something like a turbo 350 or 400 we are accustomed to back in the day . Done those a few times . About to get into someone's minivan for a tune up , oh joy . Will try to look up something for this trans . Your right , I would hope someone could come to the rescue . Darn logistics .
