soobscript Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I have my engine out. Lots of gunk in tranny bellhousing area. Is there a seal behind the plate with 4 or 5 bolts behind the clutch fork? Is it a simple to replace? (Like take out bolts, remove old seal, insert new seal, torque bolts.) I don't suspect a leak, but would like to take care of it while it's convenient. I didn't find anything about it in the Haynes book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86subaru Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 there is a rear main seal , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984subaru Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 U will have two seals on is the Rear Main seal which is placed around the crank behind the clutch, and a seal place inside the snout of the gearbox (snout is where the clutch bearing runs). Most probally it will be your rear main seal... But u will have to look more at the seals and I would do both while u r there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you replaced the snout seal? Is it a bolt off, bolt on deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobscript Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 Just skimmed my Haynes and two Chiltons. Only found one mention in the input shaft overhaul section: "oil guide" Am I just wasting my time? Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984subaru Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 yeah it is a bolt on/off. no u r'nt wasting your time coz if it is leaking u will have to pull the motor or box back out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobscript Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 Thanks. I do not think it's leaking. I just want to take care of it while it's easy to work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
