1jz Manual Transmission seal

[viperkillertt]

HI,
I was just wondering how chanllenging it was to install a new seal on the transmission? I noticed that it seems to be leaking and i am rebuilding the car right now, so i wanted to take care of it. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

i also have that problem

I was told on SF that it wasnt going to be too horrible to replace it. Does anyone else have any ideas, anyone replace theirs before, are they easy to get. It is the standard one for the manual turbo tranny right? THanks!

PS, nice supra suprakid!

They are easy to change, just unbolt the front cover, pop the old ones out and install the new ones. Takes about 2 min total. Of course, thats after you remove the tranny :cry:

its not nice =( its leaking. anyways if you dont have a hydro lift and your stuck with hand tools, it would suck BIG TIME! i had to use hand tools to take off the CAT so i could hollow it out, and the whole exhaust system fell on me while i was under the car. ouch?

I took the tranny out on jack stands and hand tools in half a day, it's not that hard.

Ya, its not too bad, just time consuming. And be careful when you finally release the tranny, its pretty heavy, so dont drop it on yourself lol.

I am doing the 1jz swap anyways, so everything will be apart. Thanks for the comments!
