clutch & rear seal

[Wayne Cox]

Hey Everyone...
Got the tranny yanked out last night.  As I suspected, the clutch hub had
broken and chunks of metal were lodged between the flywheel and disk, and
inside the pressure plate.  The thing that really sucks, is this was a
stock Nissan clutch in an all stock, female driven car that was never beat
on or abused.  Maybe Nissan subcontracted out this batch of clutches to
clutch bastards? [ie:  clutch "masters"]  Not sure if this is the original
unit, which would put it at 151K miles, or if it's more like 70K.  Just
glad it didn't happen out of town.

BTW:  Are there any tricks to replacing the rear main crank seal?  Never
messed with one before, but Courtesy had them on their clutch parts page,
and it sounded like a good idea.
