I've had either a rear crank seal or a trans input shaft seal, or both, leaking for some time now. Clutch has been slipping slightly, and I've been babying it. Yesterday the clutch gave it up. I also need to replace pushrod tube seals and motor mounts. I'm presently building a 2056 with Raby 9550 cam, so I'll be swapping engines in the near future. The swap will be a complete long block, tin and all. Pull engine, install trans, and install new engine. Now to my dilemma.
Should I,
1. pull the trans and replace seals and clutch only and drive?
2. pull engine and trans, replace seals, clutch, and pushrod tube seals
3. Pull it all and wait for the new motor and drive the truck?
