k i did some poking around and when i go to look for the seal they show it as a separate seal from say advanced or rockauto. isn't it one piece? also i look at my transmission i have in my garage when looking at the input shaft itself in the back, it looks like old hard tranny fluid or is that a gel of some sort? its hard to tell. some spots have it some dont? i will post a picture. i put alittle arrow where the crack is, its almost gel like not sure if its suppose to be there or not
