My rear main seal is leaking and causing my clutch to slip, i'd do the work myself but all my tools and a garage are back in saskatoon, im currently in calgary(living here,goin to skool). Theres several things that point to the main seal, for 1, im the one who replaced it, and it seemed like it didnt seal at the time, i should have did it right the first time, anyways, im not familiar with the shops here, and dealerships, could you refer someone to me who can do this for me, and not try to screw me over,i know whats wrong and what needs to be done, i just need a good price and quality work, thats all, thanks

Hye I'm from Calgary also, sorry man I don't know any good shop in town. I can do it for you though, a lot cheaper than any shop in town also. I owuld have to look at my schedule. (Always have a car to work on over the weekends.) We should beet up so that I could have a look at it.
If you have the time, ill let you do it. I usually work from 430-930 monday through friday, we can meet in the afternoon or on the weekend, whichever works best for you

We could meet up on Sunday. I've got a busy week. I would be able to do it the following weekend I'm guessing.
Let me know when you think we would be able to meet up.
Sundays good, anytime for me. You want me to order the main seal now, along with the disk? im sure the one in there is full of oil, pressure plate is new, and probably can be cleaned, what do u think?

Good call. I would totally replace the disk as well. You can try to clean it but it won't be as good as a new disk.
Alrite, where would you like to meet on sunday? after 4 pm is good for me, i live in the SW, in lakeview. Its a dark blue nx with sask plates.

Ok I'm not too sure where exactly where Lakeview is but that's the bus that I'm taking to get home after works. I'm in Garrison Wood. Do you know where's the Volvo dealership next to Glenmore?? There's a strip mall next to it. We could met up at 4.30 or so in the parking lot. How's that??
430 sounds good to me, ya i think i know where that dealership is, ill check it out on sat, just to see where it is,by the way, have you worked on sr20's before?

I haven't yet. But I don't think it's that hard. I had never changed a clutch on a GA16DE before I had to do mine, and it only toke me about 6 hours if I remember right.
I dont really have a plan, i just wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting into. It shouldnt be too bad, when i did my engine swap, alot of the bolts and fittings were rusted and sealed up really good, took me forever, but all that was replaced, and i can always tell you what i did before, as a reference.
Just a question when you did your clutch swap, you had to remove the axles(I actually only removed the passenger one, tried to remove the driver side but it wouldnt go), did you remove the struts from the spindle or unbolt the control arm? when i did mine, i decided to unbolt the control arm, that way i didnt have to get a wheel alignment, and my balljoints were getting replaced anyways, but ill let you have a look at it, and you can tell me what u think.

Soudns good. I'll send you an email. I'll just have a look at it on Wednesday. I work 9.00AM to 5.00PM though. Which might not really work for us. I could have a look at it on Sat and do the work on Sunday. How's that.
