To replace the rear structure gasket, the tranny has to come out. - Has nothing to do with the dog-house of the truck.

Looks bone dry to me

Your not looking into the big black void under the bone dry part there tree98. That's where the top of the flyweight starts. He's clean from the bottom of the head up. Below is a different story.

Can't see below the head very much, it's definitely black but could just be darkness lol. Well regardless something must be leaking back there if he's posting about it.

If you pull that rear structure to fix, may as well replace the clutch and the other stuff in there... You don't want to have to do this twice. Many owners replace their clutch, and do not replace the seal in that rear structure, as it is dry and working when they install the new clutch... I would say that 99 out of 100 guys that do that, wind up tearing that transmission and new clutch out to replace that rear structure gasket as the disturbance of removing the transmission and re-installing is all it takes to get that gasket leaking. So, unless the clutch is recent, just replace the clutch when you are in there, and anything else you find. The rear structure is around a $2500 job, throw in a few more bucks for a clutch and call it a day.
