To change front pump seal and bushing you have to remove the transmission and remove the pump for disassembly for the bushing. you are very near a overhaul
look in oil pan for metal dust or piece of metal, brass

SOURCE: Locationof the Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid

Your transmission should still work if the solenoid goes bad. It will just shift funny

SOURCE: Transmission Leak. Torque Converter Front Seal?

I know that GM dosen't have a fill/check tube on several models. They use a plug on the side of the unit (like on stickshift transmissions) I'm sure there would be a similar item on your transmission otherwise after a rebuild, there would be no way to refill it. If it's a small leak you could try using a good sealer/conditioner such as Lucas, which may help you a lot.

SOURCE: 95 ford escort transmission leak

Dont waste your time and money trying to use a transmission stop leak product, they don't work on large leaks, you say the leak is excessive in this case the you must remove the transmission to access and remove the torque converter, after you have removed the torque converter carefully inspect the torque convert imput shaft for wear and also you will need to visually inspect the transmission front pump bushing for wear also, I have seen it all to often people just replace the seal thinking it was just a seal failure, well more times than not there is a reason for seal more than just the age of the seal, excessive wear on trans pump bushing and torque converter imput shaft is usaully the cause, check and repair those as good practice during this repair unless you just like to do the repair over again for free... also check the torque converter run out, sometime when they are repaired they are welded back together somewhat crooked which will cause it to spin off of a true center, this will cause immediate damage to transmission. Check also your engines crankshaft end play for looseness this can cause wobble which will transfer to transmission causing this problem as well... do the repair thouroughly and who ever does it for you have them check all that I listed and you should get a good repair which will last without issues.... please rate my help thanks...

I'm not sure about what gasket to check, but I've always left my manual tranny's connected to the transaxles and removed the axles at the transaxle. This made simpler by popping the ball joints out, thus allowing the hub assembly to swing away. Hope this helps.

This involves removing the transmission as a unit, remove the lower access cover
on the bell housing and unbolt flywheel from engine. You will have to rotate the
engine manually with a socket and breaker bar. Drop the drive shaft from the
rear axle and slide it out. Unhook coolant lines from transmission and linkage
Support transmission with a transmission jack and make sure you have enough
clearance to lower it, unbolt bell housing. wiggle transmission slightly to
break seal between bell housing and engine, move the jack and tranny back about
an inch or two to disengage the pilot and pins, lower tranny onto jack .
bring it out into a good clean area and slide out the torque converter.
the seal can be pulled out with a seal puller, install new one with a seal driver
and reinstall torque converter carefully making sure it engages correctly and
does not sit proud of the bell housing. Reverse procedure. Make sure to use emergency
brake and chocking, these tranny's are dangerously heavy so be sure to use a jack.

When I pulled the pan on my tranny after the thing started slipping, the oil was like mud, I think that was my clutch, The magnet looked like a doughnut.

theres a good chance that it broke the main shaft in the tranny from to much pressure forcing it back, be honest i would look for a good reman tranny and if your having problems with the starter to close to the torque converter they make shims for the starter to avoid that problem.
