Rear Seal Fix

How much should I expect to pay to have my rear seal oil leak fixed and what other services should I consider at the same time. Note - I don't have the time or tools to do this myself. Thanks.

 

If its a manual transmission you should have the clutch replaced.

 

Whole transmission has to come out. This includes the 4x4 transfer case.

Like was mentioned, get the clutch done if you have a manual.

Now is the time for resealing the oil pan too I think unless it shows absolutely no signs of leaks.

Same with the oil cooler on the side of the block.

At least $1.5k. More likely $2k.

 

If you can find someone to do it. The shops in my small town all declined to do my clutch job.

 

It doesn't really take much in the way of special tools to do the job, but it does take time if (like me) you aren't a particulrly skilled mechanic. A tranny jack ($100 at Harbor Freight) and less than $100 worth of other tools (stubby ratchets, wobble extensions, seal puller) maybe a bearing puller will do it. Not a fun job but a big money saver
