Need to replace rear crankshaft oil seal. What is least amount of work: drop engine/transmission, or support engine in car and remove transmission?

Bolts is away, starter is away - I can get a 5mm gap between bell housing and trans but thats all... Have gone crazy with WD40 and will wait and see... Thanks anyway mike |

Thanks anyway mike Ok, you cant turn the engine, but can you rotate the trans? If you can turn the trans, you can try to remove the clutch pressure plate bolts from the flywheel by reaching through the starter hole. The driveshaft splines must be rusted (fused) into the clutch disk Is it a tail shift? I would (myself) rather destroy an engine to save a sideshift, but a tail shift is mostly disposable. Even if you have to destroy the case to get it loose, the internals might be worth something (not if it was submerged for years though) |

If I were him I'd bolt that starter back up, put it in 1st or reverse and try rocking the car front to back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
