  • Part number for rear main seal on 98 3.8..preferably not the GM part

    Maybe a Fel-Pro? Something that will last?

    Thanks for the part number.

        How hard is a replacement? More than pulling the oil pan? More than pulling the tranny and clutch? More than pulling the engine?

          More than pulling teeth when your stranded on a deserted island with a volleyball and a pair of ice skates ... if you don't have an auto lift.

            pull trasmission
            remove flex plate
            remove seal
            replace seal
            replace flex plate
            replace trasmission

            drink beer..

            pully a tranny isn't that tough just time consuming and dirty.. you can pull a transmission on jack stands you are just gonna need a helper and a floor jack and some common sense..

              this bring up a good question.
              Since i'm getting my transmission replaced, would it be good for me to goto autozone and pick up 1 of those things that someone listed and have them replace it when they're ripping apart my car?

              also, which one is better?

              my rear main isn't leaking that bad, but it has a small leak that's a little noticeable when I change the oil.

                  It would be a good time to change it and save some labor $$$. But, verify that it is really your rear main seal leaking and not the oil pan gasket seeping.

                  Does your car leave an oil spot in parking lots?

                    Hey I tried to use that Autozone part number for the rear main but it said it wasn't available. Anyone know the real number?

                      Not sure if its the same for you guys but I have had problems with seals that every brand seal leaked except the GM one. May be different then you, just because its aftermarket doesn't mean its better.
