i hope your talking about the rear main seal, because there's no other seal between the engine and trans, in that case i hope you know that you also need to remove the flexplate

Depending on the color of the oil. Black or dark oil is from the engine rear main seal. If it is redish, then its the tranmission front seal. There are TWO seals between the engine and transmission. One for the engine and one for the transmission.

ok thanks lextreme, I guess it would make sense to change them both while im in there... Its redish oil... so im guessing its the front transmission seal... Ill buy the rear main seal, Im at 267k so I guess Ill wait to blow the V8 to swap in the 2j
