[6pack] Transmission rear seal

[Jay Snable]

Hi Mike,

It's been a while since I worked on my car's rear seal leak, but I  
think the seal was pretty easy to remove once the flange was off. More  
importantly in my case, I did the job twice as a new seal did not fix  
the leak. I ended up using a Speedi-Sleeve to provide a new sealing  
surface on the flange. I think I just measured the diameter and got  
one at Napa rather than ordering from one of the usual suspects. Not  
cheap, but something to consider while you are doing this job...
