Re: Transmission Seals??

There are only 3.
One for each CV shaft and one for the input shaft from the engine.

I would say you should probably get all 3.
Might as well get bearings too if you have the $.

Re: Transmission Seals??

I went to the parts house and they sold me 4 seals. He said that it called for 2 input seals and 2 output seals. The 2 output seals are different sizes. Is that correct?

Rear main seal? But you would know of that needs to be replaced since it would be pouring out oil like there's no tomorrow if that was bad.
