It appears from browsing the FSM that real main seal is an external design. Which means you can replace it without pulling the engine or even having to drop the oil pan and crankshaft. But obviously the tranny has to come out plus remove the flywheel.

If you want that section of the FSM send me an e-mail at mjats@juno.com
