Anyone ever double sealed their T56 tranny input?

Since I have mine out and am putting in a new seal because of a bad install, I am wondering if any of you have put two on the input shaft?

There is plenty of room for 2 and all I would need to do is get some synthetic high temp grease to keep the other lubed.

Bottom line for me is because of who did the work (they faced the seal out and it was cocked) and the ruined clutch/work I have to redo, I NEVER want this to happen again.

Hell, I was even thinking of drilling into the front plate right in front of the seal so that if it did leak, it would leak down a tube I would install.

It still amazes me not many people talk about leaking tranny seals and I had one. Its just one pathetic single lip seal but not many people talk about how it ruined clutches (except me).

Thanks all.
