2.8 Rear main seal
Rear seal is leaking just wondering would you guys replace a perfectly working clutch while the box is out i was thinking of converting it to a singlemass but the cost might just put the finance department off if i just replaced with a heavy duty dual would i need to touch the flywheel
Theres only one thing tougher than my truck............. YES DEAR GOING TO DO THE LAWNS NOW

I had my clutch replaced recently and i changed the Dual Mass Fly wheel also. it was worn down to the rivets and the clutch has worn grove into it. everytime i changed gear at high reves i would get a shudder about 2000rpm.
I ended putting in a Singlemass Flywheel it vibrates a little on idle like a truck....but at least i can machine it in the future the whole install clutch and flywheel cost me $1500.
