Hi
            I have a 1988 Nissan Maxima with 132k original miles. 3.0 l,
4spd auto.  I just purchased this vehicle from a neighbor. It runs great but
the tranny is leaking from what looks to be the input shaft near the TC. The
neighbor says he had the tranny pulled last year and a new seal installed
but it started leaking again shortly after.   Im guessing its a bad bearing
in the input shaft and of course another new seal. Has anyone had problems
similar to this with thier tranny's? Is there something I could be missing
on my diagnosis? Im planning on pulling this tranny and repairing it myself
this coming week.  Any help would be appreciated as this is my first Maxima
I've owned.

                                           Best
                                      Dennis
