Is it a quick fix? Any info would be awesome.
BTW 4.0 TJ, MT.😀

2000TJ that I owned for 12 years didn't have any oil leak problems, so I'm no help.
Problems with the crank position sensor - that I have had... 😡

i would check into this a little more
my cj was a 2piece kit didnt need to seperate bell housing etc..
other wise your in for a days labor
my bronco had to pull transmission etc.. to get to it
if you do by urself get a tranny jack
and on my tj i have 0 leaks after upgrading the steering box (that leaked since day 1)
if it is the 2 piece set up you just remove the oil pan

Thanks for all the info. My TJ has around 136k, and just leaves a few drips here and there. Looking on YouTube, there is a method that doesn't require
to drop the trany. The main seal is in 2 pieces so I may try what I saw on YouTube.
Check it out... Gotta love youtube.
Thanks again for all your input.

Yeah looking at the YouTube video, it's a 2 piece, and he just removes the oil pan and works it around.
Guess I better get it done before Jeep Safari lol..
Thanks for the input.

I changed the rear main seal on my old YJ. About half way down in this thread.
You don't have to remove the tranny. I followed this thread when I did mine. I still have some of the mopar gasket maker that I don't foresee using again. I can bring it to the meeting if you plan on being there.

For what it's worth I did some work at my friends dad's shop today...I can't tell you how nice it was to have a lift and all the right tools.

I changed mine out on my 06 tj,pretty easy. As Kevin said you do not have to touch the tranny. Type in Replace(tj,yj,xj,zj) rear main seal and you'll find a hole slew of info. Myself I always pick the ones with pictures. Order up a rear main seal,pan gasket,oil,oil filter,two mountain dews and you'll be good to go.

We're men we like pictures.... Sounds like it should be a quick fix for the most part..
