My first project with the car was to do the IMS, RMS, mounts, clutch, etc. That was about 10,000 miles ago so the car and I have already been intimate.
I have the 100 things book but it doesn't go into the cover seal and the Haynes doesn't show anything trans related. Oops, can I say trans?

From what I've seen when I replaced the seal, the cover should be easy to remove. I actually bought the o-ring when I bought the seal just in case mine was leaking, but it wasn't.

While you're there, please check the axe shaft for any play. Mine has some side-to-side and up-and-down play and I'm wondering if it's a common thing.
