it is a 1 car garage meant for nothing else but 1 car.... it's hard enough putting the car inside and opening the door to get out........

woah woah. From what ive herd its just take out the drive shaft. take off the tailshaft housing, switch out seals, and put on a new extension housing gasket for the tailshaft housing. no removal of trans necessary.

Its not easy, but If your down to take this on, I'll help.

EDIT: I don't know how the same job compares between an auto and a manual.

LOL, that's why I asked if the rear main transmission seal = rear main seal. We are not talking about the same thing. Should be simple compaired to what I had to do.
