Rear Main Seal Replacement w/Pics
Though you guys might want to see what is involved in replacing the RMS seal. I have a post over in our Imagine Auto blog at http://www.turbo911.com/showthread.php?p=1377#post1377 with pictures on the procedure.

I for some reason phased out taking pictures of the tranny drop, but i will document that as it is going back in. New clutch will be in monday, so look for the update sometime monday night or tuesday.

Hey Doc, have you ever done a 3.4 engine swap in an older boxster?

Thanks for the pics doc. Sounds like the tranny is pretty sturdy.

How much of a difference will the SC make and what's the expected cost with labor?

So you just pop out that seal and pop another back in? Any special tools? More info please. How long does it take, in hours?
