I replaced the o-ring in my th-350 like was suggested on Swervin's site in gchemist's post. I had an intermittent leak, and that fixed it. I did not need any special tools. I got the parts at the dealer for less than $10 because the guys at the local parts stores kept guessing which o-rings I needed, and selling me the wrong parts. The dealer got it right the first time and did noit charge much more.

I got my new speedo gear from, you guessed it, a tranny shop. There is a place here in town where the tranny shops buy their parts. I got a new gear there for two or three dolllars, I think. Go ahead and get a new "bullet" and seal while you are at it. Ther whole set with new seal and o-ring was under $10 at the shop here.
