Any garage worth their weight will check for causes for you too.. cos may even just be down to something simple of over full of oil.. but obviously could be completely the other way and something major... As Butch says... nothing will be known for sure till the job has been started. I cant comment on pricing as i dont know what its like over your side of the pond.. But any job on most cars that includes dropping the transition can be a timely one unless front wheel drive, then can be shortish some times
srnity: the full extent of your repair cant really be told till the tranny is out and the failed seal is pulled. if the shaft is bad(excessive wear at the seal surface) then the price of poker just went up.
as far as the seal....if they use a quality seal...not just the' best buy' brand...and its installed properly...then there should be no problem.
you should wonder of course...what caused the seal failure to begin with. if thats not addressed...you could be out another 400.00.
To replace a rear main seal on a Dodge Neon (my kid's car) - - - got a quote for $400 (cutting me a break on labor, it's a six hour job) - - - I read somewhere, but can't remember where, that it's better to go with a red rubber seal (?) instead of the manufactured seal to avoid the same slippage problem happening again - - - anybody know if it'll make a difference? Also was told that all they have to do is disconnect (and drop) the trannie from the motor, clean the connections, and replace the seal, so that means that there's no "internal" trannie work needed, correct? And, while I'm at it - - - should I get them to do the "cam seal" while they're at it? If ya know, please let me know, I'm mostly car-stupid
Tuesday: lol, the basic rule here is that any strange and or funny noises coming out of your car aren't a good thing. (just curious as to what a dirt dobber is and what the heck they sound like when building a nest)
Stevie: Not to mention the availability of paramedics. And don't forget our friends in the tech dept. to try and make sure we have the best protection we can while we're playing! lol
tazman7474: For sure Skip :o( and they take innocents people with them too, or wreck their lives for them. Hence the track is best place, run off and less roadside furniture etc etc also
Tuesday: they are special air brakes installed on semi's designed to prevent their drivers from running over young tom turkeys....which are referred to as 'Jakes'....hence the term "jake brakes"
to my scooby :o) http://sox-main.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5529
Just have to get it remapped now, cos the intercooler is 4 times the size of the original, and the length of pipe getting to and from it ,, so much lag on the turbo boost.. should be good for 330bhp once mapped and around the same lb/ft torque, its 260bhp/ 240lb/ft now before i done this work and 0-60mph 4.7 seconds and 13 sec 0-100mph.. so looks like should be pretty cool for just a 2.0 flat 4 boxer :oD
Backoff: Think Ill give it a miss Bob LOL There were Jet cars going up the strip while I was racing this weekend, love the way the shock wave hits your chest when they go past
