Welcome!

What exactly do you mean by "seal carrier"?

Duh, figured it out.  You'll have to find a used one.

the manual calls it the seal carrier, it is the shaft that carries the output seal on the transmission, it is also the shaft that the release bearing slides on, I will post a picture later

Surely the release bearing is around the input shaft, or first motion shaft, not the output shaft. The output shafts surely should be the splined diff outputs to which the rear driveshafts are fitted either side of the diff.

If the oil seal is around the first motion shaft and behind the clutch release bearing, the seal is located in the bell housing.

I think a photo is needed to dispel any doubt.
