Default Searched............is there a write up somewhere on replaceing the tailshaft seal???

Thanks guys, my M6 has a tailshaft seal leak. Just swapped out the shifter a few weeks back and actually thought the leak was coming from the stocker. It wasn't. I can see now that its the tailshaft seal itself.

Is there a sticky or writeup somewhere on replaceing the tailshaft seal? I searched and spotted reference to one, but never saw it anywhere.

We have the seal with the boot for $25 shipped. I don't like to use the ones from the parts stores as they do no have the boot on them. They give you the cheap one that will leak over time.

Thanks,
