But, I still want a supra for the reason's most people have them, their sexy, fast, rare, collectable, beautiful, and did i mention fast? lol. Regarding the rear main seal, i thought u had to drop the tranny to replace it, cuz its on the back of the motor at the end of the crankshaft where the flywheel bolts up too. OR am i wrong??
But I am still searching for the Supra thats calling my name!  |
Yep, you have to drop the tranny to change the rear main seal, but (relative to some other tough jobs in the engine - eg. valve stem seals) dropping the tranny isn't that hard. The whole job can be done in about four hours with a lift, two guys and the right tools. Changing the clutch was the first job I did myself on my MK4. Here's a tech article that tells you how, step-by-step:

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
