Re: front main
You have to pull the transmission! It is the seal on the input shaft of the transmission for the torque converter!

Re: front main
No such thing as a front main on a transmission. If you go to a parts store and ask for that, they'll give you a really strange look.

You need a transmission input seal and you need to pull the transmission to replace it.

Yep. Doesnt really matter. As long as your not dealing with some retarded auto parts dweeb they will usually know what your talking about. Front seal on a transmission. Real hard to figure out! Yeah it sucks but its one of them things you gotta fix!
