Spent Friday night until 10pm, Saturday morning starting at 4 until 8, Saturday night from 3 until 10 amost of yesterday working on the car. When I got the tranny off the old seal was hard as a rock and starting to break. SOB refused to come out and I had to drill holes in it and screw in screws to get it out.It had been done before as there were some nicks in the bore. I cleaned it up as best I could and put in a new seal.
Cleaned up some other stuff. Dragging right rear brake (adjusted venting) clesned up cable runs, cleaned grounds, new hi torque starter. Put the engine and tranny back in and it wouldn't fire. Fuel pump ran, but no fuel. I checked the wires and I had made the same mistake as the last time I dropped the engine. I HOOKED IT UP BACKWARDS. The red hot lead has a black connector crimped to it and the black ground has a red connector crimped to it. DOH, stupid CO (current owner). Took a while to prime but then it went. Wife was pretty upset about Mother's day but, she's got a little time to cool off before WCC and she doesn't want my son and I to have car troubles on the way down. (Ya, right is that possible?)

You'll be fine. There isn't any pressure behind the seal. Just a means of keeping a seal around the rotating shaft and gear oil is slung all over the place. If'n it does leak worst that can happen is oiling up your clutch disk and marking you parking spot. Like we don't do that now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) When you oil up a clutch with gear lube it will get hot and sticky so there will be no modulation.
