how hard is it to change on our cars? what needs to be taken out, and what should i be careful about? basically i wanna know about any crossmembers or any thing or if the trans needs to come out or anything. i havent looked under the car much except to spot the leak. any help is appreciated.thanks

 

the tranny, clutch, and flywheel all need to come off. All that work and it only takes about 5min to change. But its not that bad.

 

I just did mine.....pain in the @ss sort of.

 

did it help/stop it? should i try some of that valvoline high mileage stuff first.

 

Wait a minute...

Before you start tearing everything apart, take a mirror, and look at your intake manifold end seals. They are prone to leak oil. This may be mis-diagnosed as a rear main.
Take a mirror, and look at the rear intake seal. Any type of leak up top should be fixed prior to doing any leaks underneath.

 

i felt around tehre and the valve covers and the whole top end it was dry.i dont think ill start tearing it apart for a while cause its not a nescesity(sp) right now.
