unccpathfinder Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 nope its worse....you gotta drop out the tranny along with a buncha other crap...its not too bad though...a solid 16 hours of work if you're by yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v6engine Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 While on this topic: What is the best way to pull the seal out ( ie. tools or techniques)? Mine leaks and it's just a nuisance after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) i got lucky, i had the engine out and with a little help from a screwdriver, mine fell out lol. putting the new one in, a block of wood and some gentle taps is the way to go. if you just push the seal in (causing uneven pressure), they sometimes leak. i agree above, PITA droppin the tranny..... but doable fer sure.
