300zx Rear Main Seal Replacement
Its been a long time since I've posted here, so I doubt anyone still rads this, but anyway...
Recently I purchased a used 300zx TT as a fun project car. The I bought it from guy wasn't asking a lot and the car was in good condition, especially for the amount of miles on it (140000). Anyway the car turned out to be leaking oil from the rear main seal, so 2 weeks ago I started the replacement. I had purchased a new clutch and flywheel prior, since I figured now would be a good time to replace them. Maybe I'll take some pictures of those tomorrow.
So far I'm about halfway through the whole job. The main exhaust is off, the drive shaft is out, the starter is pulled, the pre-cats are off, the transmission is out, the clutch and flywheel are out and the rear main seal and housing are pulled. The next step is re installation, which should commence next once the rest of the parts come in. Below are some pictures of the progress.
This is my new short shifter. It will be installed shortly.
The transmission out from under the car.
A side view of the transmission.
A ton of oil from the leak pooled in the bell housing.
This is the old clutch. Its been removed since this picture was taken.
Anyway, thats all I have for now. Maybe I'll post some pics of new parts tomorrow. I also want to get a few pictures of the turbos while they're exposed.
