try harder. did you remove the clutch pressure plate at all?

While you have it apart did you put a new clutch kit in and if not it should slide right back in.It is recommended to change the clutch whenever you pull the tranny to do it properly. clutch, pressure plate, throwout bering, flywheel, input shaft bushing, rear main seal on the engine and input shaft seal on the tranny all around $200 for parts then you should be good for a while. If the clutch is still good and all you did was change the slave put the tranny in gear to line up the splines using the output shaft of the tranny and push it straight in. check to make sure the bushing is center on the clutch disk in the flywheel. A clutch alignment tool is handi for checking it usually comes in a clutch kit.

Hopefully there is no air in the master cylinder or line once you have it together make sure the reservor is full of fluid and gravity bleed the slave but run about two reservor tanks of fresh fluid thru it hook a vacuum hose to the bleed on the slave open it and have someone pour fluid in as it gets low. The top it off and test it. GL

just change the clutch and everything while you are in there. I see no reason to replace the rear main when its not leaking, or the input seal on the tranny.

If you are getting oil out of either seals then you have the option while you have apart is what i meant never said anything about the main bering.

preventative maintenance. it saves the trouble of doing a clutch job and then a week later the rear main is leaking.. stuff like that

yea i can see why some people do it. i just go by "if it aint broke don't fix it" weve never had a rear main go bad, so i never bother changing them. other people do different. same with the flywheel. we never resurface them cause normally the clutch is changed before it gets to the slipping point.
