Does your car use a lot of oil? I know I have an oil leak somewhere, but I don't want to remove the tranny again if I'm not almost positive it's the rear main seal because it takes too long in the driveway. I have to put in a quart about every 6-8 weeks I think. I'm guessing it is because rear mains are most notorious for oil leaks.

no I can get to the passenger side header and loosen all the bolts so I can swing the tranny out. Im leaking oil from the rear main, Its pretty noticable I can see the oil - probably a half quart per 3k miles.

Well, when stuff like that happens, it kinda gives you a good excuse to spend $ on upgrades cause it's cheaper to upgrade that part now since you need a new part installed anyway.
alright, two questions, what is the dog bone and how did you manage underdrives AND supercharger?
