$730. Too much to replace a rear main seal????

4 hrs Work maybe even at $100 an hour, no where near $750

Just gave it another degrease and had a bit more of a look. It appears that the front seal is leaking a bit too. I thought it was the sump gasket that was leaking but i reckon its the front seal leaking and running around the lip of the sump.
Ive lined a mate up to do the rear seal. Im guessing the front seal can be done at a later date as there is no doubling up on labour etc?? (sooner rather than later as its already weeping)

You can buy shims for these can't you? My mate did on his 302 powered 75s ute

Just priced up seals. Genuine from nissan: Front $32, rear $77. Not bad for genuine.

In our workshop and others in my area, removal of a 4x4 gearbox will usually vary between $450 and $650, add to that the cost of removing, cleaning and reinstalling the sump. Plus cost of the gaskets and seals. Sounds about right to be honest. Patrols are knowns to leak at the front seal, I have seen a few sump gaskets leaking but more commonly front and rear main seal.
