jimkup Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 My mechanic is about to R&R the rear main on my EA82 & says it is easier for him to pull the Transaxle (I have a 2WD) to do this. In the process, he is gonna R&R the clutch & both half shafts too. I suspect that the transaxle has a small leak too because some of the oil under it smells awful & is thicker than the engine oil. Anyone know or have a general idea of the time and/or parts involved to re-seal the just the Transaxle & maybe how much $$. He gave me an hour estimate but it seemed kinda high cuz he already has the Transaxle outta the vehicle. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 To completely reseal a 2wd transmission you would have to split the case, to get to the front seal. If he is only going to charge you and hour labor he may looses money unless he's done a few of these transmissions.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkup Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 yea that's what he said, split the case. So, two to maybe three hours to do this job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 If he dosen't know what he's doing, two at the most. A 2wd transmission dosn't have a lot of parts to take off to split the case like a 4wd dose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
