Default Freeze Plug Removal

Hi all, I am planning to replace the read freeze plug on my 96 XJ as I believe it's the source of a leak. Since I will have to remove the transmission are there any other seals I should think about replacing/have on hand?

You could do the transmission front seal, but I honestly wouldn't unless it's been leaking. The rear main seal is 2 piece, so you don't need to drop the transmission to do that one. You will need to drop the exhaust, so get a new donut gasket.

Transmission pump seal if its original. That's the one on the front of the trans. Some places also call it a torque converter pump seal.
