Is this something you guys suggest dealer only for gaskets or does it not really matter? If so ill look into ordering those things today from the dealer and go from there. Ill definently be looking for help. A job like that is just asking for trouble to tackle solo. I appreciate the help and in the mean time ill do the shocks. And tidy up a few other things.

Edit : in regards to the shifter, mine being automatic, I imagine I would remove the center console and approach from above. Then given access I could tell if the top seal is bad ?

Thanks again.
