Hi Mike,
I too, recommend speedi sleeve.
I haven't used it for the transmission, but when I did a motor swap, it
turned out that the replacement motor had a bad leak coming from the rear
seal.
Upon removal of the rear seal, I found a bad groove in the shaft. Not
wanting to tear the motor apart to polish out the end, I got a speedi
sleeve. So far no leak.
