If it is the bronze shaft bushing, you have to pull the trans out, strip it apart, and then press in the new bushing before burnishing it to the correct size. Not a whole lot of fun.

I’ve been living with it for years……. The amount that leaks is minimal and when I’ve checked the level it doesn’t seem to be down at all.

I'm inclined to live with it. Since I have a manual I'll have to change the fluid every year to make sure I'm not short.

Yikes! And I just had the trans out for an IMS, clutch and flywheel refresh. Sounds like it would be an expensive undertaking. I'm inclined to just live with it as it's not leaking onto the garage floor but it's definitely coating some parts underneath. I should probably start changing the tranny fluid every year to make sure it's at the correct level.
