1997 2.3 @ 357,000 miles. Doing my first-ever clutch (because of a leaking slave cylinder) although it is certainly not the first clutch for this truck. Finally peeled it all back to the rear main seal. I have one on hand but I'm hesitant to replace it, because I have a bit of a history with "if it ain't broke I'll fix it until it is" and I've been trying to learn to not molest things that are fine. Pic is exactly how it looks, I haven't touched or cleaned anything. What do you smart people say? Is it leaking? Should I replace it? Or leave it alone? I'm not experienced enough to tell if the RMS is leaking or the gunk is all from up above.
On that note as far as I can tell the replacement protocol is to put a few screws gently in to pry out the old, then carefully press in the new with whatever works. Does that sound right?
