Well that explains it.

Got the trans off and sure enough the seal is all torn up. But not for the reasons I thought. They installed a wear sleeve when they rebuilt the motor. So I was trying to install a standard seal over the sleeve, which won't work with the Cummins sleeve. Luckily the Cummins supplier gave me the wrong seal with the sleeve, which now turns out to be the right one.
Only problem is I need the special installer tool to put the new seal and sleeve on. Hate to drop $200 on a tool I should only need once, might have to see if I can borrow one from somewhere.
