Default 96 Dodge RV 3.9 L/32RH transmission oil pump

Hi, Everyone;
I am a DIY; About 2 years ago, went to pay my respects ( Memorial Day ) for two friends at the VA Cemetery in Boulder City, NV.
The trip was fine the Dodge Ram Van 2500 with a 3.9L V6 magnum engine did good. Park the van and WALLA a pool of transmission oil came out very quick.
parked for two years in my garage, missed my fishing van/camper. Question: Do I need to tighten the Front Band to hold the front clutch in place, before removing the oil pump from the transmission ?
GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU
Stay safe.

I don't have a direct answer for ya, but, there are full-sized truck service manuals available here, that *should* answer your question.

Did it come out by the converter? May just be the seal. No need to pull the pump out to replace that.
