Some people take this opportunity to replace rear seal as a preventive maintenance so they don't have to pull tranny again should it develop a leak due to wear. Maybe that's what he is talking about. Some also replace the torque converter at this time.

I know you probably figured this out already
Thanks for the reply! I knew it wasnt a 11.5 socket and the socket wasnt $100 lol. Harbor frieght has the 12 point but we confused every staff member talking about a 11.5 socket (which exist but they dont have any). Im guessing the starter did eat up the teeth because they had to replace the starter but every other startup we have to turn it by hand then crank it up. Im not the type to go to a mechanic to get things fixed but he gave up and its not my vehicle so its not my call. We have all the tools except that 12 pt 12mm socket which I can get easily but he is now claiming that the shop has to put in the seals because without a machine you cant do it (Which I think is a bs way of saying im too lazy to do it so ill pay a mechanic $300). Sorry for saying flywheel I didnt read what the new one said and just went from what the mechanic called it.
