Im puttin in a new rear main right now and need to know if the seal needs to be flush with the front of the cover (Trans Side) or the rear? The old seal was flush with both. Any help is appriciated. Thanks!

 

flush with the front side of the cover.

 

Just went by the dealership and the tech i talked to said that it sits down on the little ears on the back.

 

Can anyone else chime in? I need to get this put in asap. Thanks.
And if anyone has pics that would be awesome.

 

You juts push it in from the front till its fully seated, its really simple.

 

Yes, simple if you've done it before. I just don't want to get it on and it leak. There is horror story after horror story on here of changing rear mains. The old seal was flush with the front and it was also fully seated. For the new seal to be fully seated it will not be flush with the front. If i could see a picture i would understand.

 

I though mine was flush bit it may have been slightly further than flush, I pusjed it in till it stopped. No leaks.
