[TR] Transmission whine

Bill,
As you stated, replacing the rear seal is a relatively simple and easy task.
Replacing all the bearings and seals require a tear down and a costly kit.
It's the bearings that will kill you.....so to speak.

Really have to differ with this opinion, I just replaced the rear oil seal
in the Toyota 5 speed in our TR3,  it cost me less  than $20.00 for a new
seal from NAPA,  the  hardest part was removing the drive shaft ... there
was no need to replace the bearing ...

I do agree that if the drive shaft is not properly "installed" it will
damage the oil seal.  And if you allow all the oil to leak out ... you  have
a real problem ...
