I am having the rear main seal replaced (btw what brand is recommended is there an upgrade here?)

but is there anything else I should look into upgrading replacing in the area besides a torque converter?


car is a 2001 ls1 4l60e

 

Stock flexplates are crap, so an SFI flexplate is way better. Also you could throw a new front seal on the trans while its down.

 

would that be a good idea if the stock one is fine? I am not sure that it is but if it is would replacing it be cheap insurance down the road?

 

you can get a flexplate from speed inc. for i think under $100 that is sfi approved i was gonna put one in my car when i did my stall and trans but circle-d told me it wasnt nessesary

 

I am referring to the trans seal- sorry for the confusion.

 

I always replace the front seal when the trans is down. If it starts leaking you would have to pull the trans for such a cheap item. Seems like a waste to me, so I replace them as cheap insurance.
