[FWDLK] replacing the rear seal on a 318

[Dan Morton <morton@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now that I have brakes, I can drive the car!  However... It seems I have a
major leak in the rear seal of my 318.  According to my shop manual, the
seal is asbestos rope, cut into to pieces -- upper and lower.  The manual
also says, if the upper seal needs replacing, you have to drop the crank.
Yikes!

A bunch of questions:

Is there a modern replacement upper seal that can be rotated into place,
without removing the crank?

If not, is there a way to disconnect and drop the crank, without dropping
the trans?

Can the pan be removed, without dropping any linkage?

        adTHANKSvance,
