rear main seal replacement and clutch
I'm going to be installing my new tranny soon and I had a quick question. My rear main seal is leaking, so thats gonna be replaced once the tranny is off. My question is, should I replace the clutch and flywheel while I'm at it? Does a leaky rear main seal affect the clutch and flywheel in any way or would I be alright sticking to my current ACT clutch and stock flywheel (only about a year/20000 miles old)?

alright...thanks. The clutch isn't slipping or anything, but I guess if its gonna be out, might as well do it all right?

i just did this on my car..... you will need an oil pan gasket too.
REAR SEAL GASKET
OIL PAN GASKET
paid like $20 at HONDA parts dept.
i recommend resurfacing the flywheel..... but if you got cash, get a lightened flywheel.
i have a 14 lb. flywheel in my car, and i love it, not too REV happy, but does rev out a little quicker than stock.
if the clutch still grips, reuse it..... again, if you got cash... upgrade.
my motto is, if youre in there anyway, might as well upgrade.

Re: rear main seal replacement and clutch (PokeyD16Z)
the oil pan comes off when youre doing the rear seal.
if its a new gasket, it might still be usable.
is it possible you damaged the rear seal last time you did the oil pan gasket?
thats why i had to do mine.....
installed new clutch, and i think i flubbed up my rear seal.....
so i got a lightened flywheel, and all new gaskets and redid the whole thing....
works great now.

clutch is gone cause the oil? so, I should probably get a new clutch/flywheel.
