[s-cars] Transmission & Diff Seals

[Gabriel Caldwell]

Does this sound about right?

0Seal%20Replacement

My passenger side (apparently the easy side) is weeping a little bit and
I was thinking about doing it while I had the exhaust off.  It seems it
has only started weeping since I jacked the car up though.  If you leave
a car tilting to one side for a long while, will the seal start to weep?
Or is this just coincidental?

Common failure on high mileage cars, Trevor.

The diff seal isn't a big job. The rear tranny seal is. You have to
remove
the exhaust cat back, the driveshaft, and the tranny tailstock. You have
to
press the stub shaft out of the tailstock bearing to get at the seal.

Just had differential & transmission fluid changed with redline stuff,
however 2 days later have noticed seepage from left rear driveshaft seal
&
from seal at rear of transmission.

Are these common failure spots?
What's the repair time & cost?

Anything I should have replaced while exhaust is off?

Cheers
Trev.
PS, No I can't do a 6-speed :-)
