Hey guys,
need your help again. 3 weeks and about 1000kms ago i had the clutch done on my prado rv6 manual. Today i got the happy news, that the oil leak which i discovered accidently a week ago is caused buy a failing rear main seal.
Now im wondering if the mechanic maybe made a mistake, because he had to get the gearbox out but im not sure if he changed the main seal or what he did :/
The invoice says :
Work done : Remove transmission, clutch and flywheel, degrease inside bell housing and rear of engine, replace oil seal, refit flywheel and thighten as per factory specs, fit new exedy clutch assembly, relube clutch fork pivots, refit transmision. change front diff oil.
So he obviously cleaned the rear of the engine, where the rear main seal is located. You would think he also changed it while he was there...But then why its leaking ... I will call the mechanic this week, but first id like to hear your opinion on this, since mechanics can be a bit dodgy when it comes to waranty claims :/
Now my first question is :
What does the oil seal, in that context mean ? is it the rear main ?
Ive got a part number for the oil seal on the bill, its B-402593S for 35.95 $.
Searched the web, but couldnt find an answer; anyone knows what seal that is?
Second question :
Is there a manual or a guide how to drop the gearbox ect to get to the rear main seal of the prado ? I have the time and the tools, but im not very experienced, thus not too confident to do that big a job without any guidance.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks, guys !
Cheers, Korbi
