Has anyone done a rear main engine seal on a 2.4 with a manual transmission? :dblthumb:

guessing you asking for a 2wd 720?

Basically....

Take off the trans, pressure plate, clutch, and flywheel first.

Z24 you should be able to get a pick and start working the old one out and then tapping a new one in.

KA24e there are 6 bolts holding the plate with the rear main in it. Tap old one out and new one in, RTV the plate back and the bolts go back after that.
