is it a new clutch if soo what kind?...and have you replaced the rear main seal lately?

GeNos86GT · September 13th, 2007, 11:55 PM

no i believe it was changed to oem by original owner at like 50000 miles now its to 90 rear main seal on tranny?

Mlx50man · September 14th, 2007, 12:03 AM

im guessing it hasnt been replaced if you dont know what it is...lol, but its around the crank in the back of the motor, right before your clutch.. it could be leaking all over your h-pipe and clutch causing your smell, is there any oil spots when you park it for a while?

GeNos86GT · September 14th, 2007, 12:07 AM

YEA not much but def a leak

Mlx50man · September 14th, 2007, 12:10 AM

well theres your smell then, mine did the same thing..you gotta drop the tranny to get to the seal but its easy to replace once you get too it, i'd replace the clutch while your down there. and tht should stop the smell
