    they are in there, keeps the trans fluid from seeping around the shaft....you will see them. the parts manual would be the second best tool in the box.....it gives breakdowns and how they go together. i use mine all the time......let us know!!!!!

    I would bet you need new seals,
    Parts guy should have asked you when you got the bearing....

    Agree with Chuck the SM is great but the PM shows an exploded diagram of the assembly and all the pn's for each bit. So you'll see the stuff you need...

    Bummer been there done that.

    While you are in there replace EVERY seal and gasket, no reason to do it again...
