Default putting her back together today

After almost a month on stands gonna put the tranny back in today. Along with rear cover seal and custom pcv system out of home depot tubing fittings. Wish me luck and hopefully it'll be back on the road.

Fingers crossed all goes flawlessly

alright so it wasnt the rear main seal........it was actually the cover. the bolts that go through the pan into the bottom of the rear cover were stripped. so i bought a new cover and went ahead and put a new seal in and presto....... no leaks. and yes the amount of time it took to pull the tranny this time was far shorter. good as new now. next time i pull it itll be a swap to 6 speed.
