Transmission Rear Seal Install
Anyone have a writeup on how to install a rear seal on a manual tranny? Its a 91 N/A and i need to replace it, have the part, but want to know how to tackle it before i have problems. Is it just:
Unbolt exhaust header to cat;
unbolt Driveshaft;
bolt on seal (or just push on)
bolt driveshaft back up;
bolt back on the exhaust.
If im having problems unbolting the exhaust because of rusted bolts, what is the best way to remove them without having to install new bolts?
thanks
Jeff

I just did this last weekend.
First off, unbolt the whole exhaust system, u can leave the mufflers hanging there though. Take off all the heat shields too.
-take off the clutch assembly ontop off the tranny.
-disconnect the speedo cable and the 2 wires going to the tranny.
-drain the tranny fluid
-support the engine with a jack
-unbolt the cross-member and all the tranny bolts
-take off the shifter
-unbolt the driveshaft and take it out(mark the driveshaft yolk in relationship to the differential!)
-pull out the tranny and drop it down
-take off the clutch pressure plate/disk( mark its relationship to the flywheel first!)
-use an impact gun with a 2 1/4" or 54mm IMPACT (6point) socket to get flywheel nut off.
-screw the flywheel nut on 3 a couple of turns
-use a crowbar and pry @ the flywheel and then turn it a little bit and keep prying until it comes off
- take off old seal, put new one in and reverse the shisnit, make sure u have a clutch alignment tool though.
use a lubricant to get those rusty bolts/nuts off

Uh, rear seal on the engine or rear seal on the transmission?
I think the original poster meant rear TRANSMISSION seal!
Basically, like you said - remove driveshaft, change seal, put back driveshaft...

The seal is just pressed in (no bolts). The rubber is molded to a metal ring. The metal ring and seal come out to gether. If you bought a new on I am sure you can see this already.

Is the dealer the only source for this seal, or do auto parts stores have them? How much?
