RE: [DML] Rear Main Seal Replacement

Rich, If you have dropped a tranny before then it can be done in 3 to 4
hours. Then it has to go back and hope nothing happens while doing it. You
make want to have a set of engine mounts on hand if they break. I noticed
you saying oil/coolant. Hope there isn't any coolant coming out of the rear
main seal. If there was or is you have more problems. It's also a good time
to look at the clutch while you have it down.

Subject: [DML] Rear Main Seal Replacement


I'm still struggling to make a plan of attack for my blown head
gasket and oil/coolant leak. I had decided on a total engine rebuild,
but I have been advised that it's just un-necessary by the good folks
in Houston.

After crawling under my car, I've pretty much confirmed that the
crank seal is the source of a large oil/coolant leak (I know, you're
saying that if that was the problem, there wouldn't be coolant in
it). I believe I have a combination of problems.

Warren has advised me to just drop the tranny in my driveway and
replace the seal.
