I'm trying to pull off the tranny front cover to replace the seal, I think it may be leaking around there. all the bolts are out... wont budge, dont know if theres something in the guts thats holding it on or what. Theres a little bit of fluid soaked in the bottom of the bell housing, could it be from that seal? or the shaft seal (which they couldn't locate at nissan) thanks

Yours should be similar to my 4-sp. There is a split retaining ring on the shaft right where it exits the cover. That and a plastic mallet for a few whacks from the back and it should break free.
