Default aw4 transmission problems

when i start my jeep, fluid pours (like really pours) out the front of the tranny right by the torque converter and bellhousing. it also will not drive or go in reverse in any gear. the driving part might be due to it not having enough fluid? im pretty sure the fluid leak is the front seal on the trans. but should i replace just seal or is a whole new tranny worth it? i've replaced plenty of trannys on my chevy so that should be no problem. any advice or tips would be awesome, thanks

I had mine start doing the same on a Moab trip. Started losing reverse the day before, the next day fluid out the front pump. My dad says most likely the front pump took a crap. I didn't even mess with it for as cheap as parts are for these things. Went down to the junk yard on half off day and paid 50 bucks for a used trans. Threw it in by myself in 2 nights and has been great since.
