Have you looked at what is involved in replacing that seal? Usually the 
engine and trans is in a "cradle" you raise the body off of it and then 
separate the transmission from the engine. If you are physically able to 
do it, it might not be that big of a job....

There is no reason any car today can't make 300000 miles, unless the body rusts out first. Most people use the nickel and dime excuse to get a different car, which is nearly always more expensive than fixing the old.
