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

You could try to put it in 5th gear manually and turn the output shafts while pulling the trans away from the engine.

Update:

When I put in any gear the driveshafts just turns around just like there is no gear in place.

This makes me believe that the clutch is corroded in "engaged" position, correct assumption?

I can with a big hammer turn the flywheel so I can reach every 13mm nut through the starter hole. Should I remove these 13 mm nuts?



Cheers
Mike

BTW here's the beauty...

I dont understand that you can turn the FW with a big hammer...

What is stopping you from just leaving the engine stationary (and the FW) and just twisting the trans while it is stuck to the back of the engine?

Cant you just rotate the trans case to reach all the Clutch plate bolts?
If the clutch is engaged (stuck even) and the driveshaft is stuck into the clutch disk, and all 4 bolts are out, what is stopping you from just twisting the trans while it is still attached? (unless the trans driveshaft is frozen too?)

I dont recall any large pins in the trans mating surface that protrude into the engine case.

Well the bottom two bolts are studs (correct word) so I cannot twist the whole transmission.
Now the 6 bolts from the flywheel are out, and I am going to try to separate the two of them.

Wish me luck
