it looks like my rear main seal is leaking oil. i have a 93 prelude with around 130k on it.

how hard is it to remove the tranny with the motor still in the car? has anyone done this before and would like to give me a few helpful hints? clearance looks like it is going to be very tight. i have done a few tranny swaps on b series with the motors in the car, but the prelude bay is so much smaller.

can i remove the tranny without having to lower the motor at all? my main concern is getting the shaft of the tranny in and out without runnin into hitting the frame.

 

oh ya, how bad is it to drive the motor like this? is it something i can put off for a while?

 

Space is limited, but no need to drop the motor to pull the tranny out. You've done it before and know what to expect. Its just a matter of manuvering the tranny out once you got it unbolted.

The hardest part is just aligning the shaft with the clutch disc.
