If the transmission is out of the car, the flex plate is bolted to the engine's crankshaft and torqued/locked as necessary. Then you install the transmission, MAKING SURE that the torque converter is fully seated into the front pump, and doesn't move while mounting the transmission. Once the transmission is installed, the flex plate is bolted to the torque converter through the opening between the engine and the transmission designed for this purpose. Rotate the engine as necessary to gain access to each of the bolts holding the torque converter to the flex plate.

Your only option is to pull the tranny and replace the seal - also check the condition of the end of the crankshaft where the seal rides for excessive gouging or the new seal my not seal without first repairing or replacing the crank, this is rare however and a new seal should do the trick.
I recomend shopping around as the seal only costs about $25 and the major cost is removing the engine or transmission to replace it (wich ever is easier sometimes the motor is, but anyway maybe you can find a local friend or family member who could R&R the transmission or motor for you at a good price id say around 500-800 would be more than fair.
Look around you would be suprised when a shop is slow what kind of deals they will give out just to get some work.
It's not bad job, just time consuming. Need a way to hold tranny up while pulling parts. Have a chilton or haynes manual.
Basically though, you need to remove transmission or be able to move it back far enough... remove flywheel from crankshaft end... unbolt and remove rear main seal retainer... replace seal and gasket... reverse procedure.

I had the exactly the same problem, in overdrive my truck would start to shake, in 3rd it would instantly go away, i assumed it was the flywheel to, THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM, your tranny is in good shape and flywheel are in good shape, I had the "Idle Motor" replaced is what my mechanic called it, this completely fixed my problem, also my fuel milage went up considerably after having this replaced, hopefully this will help you out
SOURCE: can my torque converter sensor cause my transmission not to shift
I think it can and I remember problems with the PCM in the transmission controls had recalls. First check your fluid levels and see if it is low. You may get lucky to just add fluid. You may be better off running your VIN# to see if there were recalls on your car at the dealer. Best of Luck.
