I have finally narrowed my leak down to either a main rear seal or the like.
I have been leaking a good quantity of oil, I've drained some oil out (thought it might be overfilled), I've changed the PCV Valve (the old one was good and this one obviously hasn't stopped the leak), and I've double checked my drain plug for tightness and security (just in case, but it was good and tight already).
So I think it's the rear main seal and my question to everyone is how should I go about the replacement. My haynes manual suggests removing the transmission, is this the easiest way?
If I go ahead with the tranny removal what all should I purchase to replace while I am down there. I've heard I should change the "Throw Out" bearing, and replace the clutch set... beyond that I am not sure, so any help will be appreciated.
