Replaces engine with 2001 engine but used 2002 flywheel ,replaced transaxle with 2001 rebuilt transaxle 6months later, but after bolting up torque converter to flywheel front seal really leaks like torque converter was pulled out of seal

the flywheels are not the same. they are different part numbers. I would put the flywheel from the 2001 back in to match the motor and trans.
