Default Does anyone know why manufactures do not use split rear main seals?
...since they are easier to replace? I have an older truck that uses split rear main seals, and its cake replacing. Why did the manufacturers on modern cars go to a full seal, which requires you to pull the tranny?

because they have tendency to leak, most modern cars have 150k and are still doing fine.
