Rear main seal? Hey guys I am doing a clutch swap and my tranny is out at the moment I figures why not replace the RMS being that the car has 145,000 miles. I do have a very small oil leak already which could be the seal or the pan gasket. I know the seal pops right out, but do you need the special tool to install the new one or can you do it without?

I am actually almost positive the seal isn't leaking at all. I believe the small oil leak I have is from the pan. I just went under the car a little while ago and with the car sitting on an incline with the front higher than the rear all day the seal is bone dry. Would I be better off just leaving well enough alone? Oil gallery plugs seem dry as well.
