rear main seal April 08, 2009, 10:28:12 AM hello. i'm going to have the trans out real soon and as long as the trans is going to be out, i'd like to replace the rear main seal. i can't find much on that. has anyone ever done it before or seen anything that can be passed along that would help me?

rear main seal Reply #2 – April 08, 2009, 01:55:31 PM ok. since you put it that way, i'm not so intimidated anymore. automatic transmission- now that's intimidating. that's why i don't even want to look at it once it's out. it's getting picked up and i wont see it again until it's rebuilt. So i'll have a rare chance to do the rear seal and flex plate bolts (i mean loctite if they need it). anything else while the trans is out? Quote Selected

rear main seal Reply #6 – April 09, 2009, 04:55:58 PM I tapped it in with the handle on a wooden mallet. The transmission is the hard part. As long as you have a jack for the transmission and the car on ramps, it should go in nice and fine. It's alot easier with two people just in case though. Quote Selected
