Asked by Pete Jan 11, 2016 at 05:56 PM about the 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 SL Extended Cab SB

since so i dont want that to happen again. ive already had to have tranny
rebuilt but the machanic didnt replace rear main tranny seal. any help would

Lubricate the rubber seal to prevent damage to the lip and tap the seal in evenly. If the output shaft is worn where the seal meets the shaft then you will have more leaks.

You may want to invest in a seal puller as they don't cost much. What ever you do, don't scratch the output shaft.
