Getting A Sleeve

[Potomus Pete]

As an old guy I'm getting ready to crawl under my car now that the weather is a bit cooler. My car has been dumping oil out the rear main seal. Next week I plan on doing a pictorial in doing a sleeve to fix this mess. When I give it gas it just spins at the clutch, and I dont want to pay a guy so Im doing it over. Question??? Some people say a sleeve wont work. I did my clutch last year with a Teflon.

I put a sleeve on and had no issues Pete. I still have the plastic tool to install the sleeve.
I believe we discussed this before and i offered it to you.

Its good Im going to Home Depot.....I just am hoping Im ok after being on my back forever. I have been dripping a handfull of oil every week so Im cleaning it up, and hoping for no leaks.

Im a little surprised that as much as the rear main seal leaks , nobody has done a sleeve. You never know when I did it last time it may be coming out the pressure plate screws. I cant imagine they are leaking but we will see

Flywheel bolts need threadlocker/sealant.
Pressure plate bolts are not in a oil area.

Timkin has a seal. I put one on my car couple years ago. So far so good.

Still somewhat of an amature thats why Im not happy about taking this apart again.. Good thing is its fairly simple when you get the car in the air
