    I didn't think the pan needed to be removed?

    If you are experienced it can be done without pulling the pan.
    It makes the job alot eaiser and done properly by pulling the pan however.

    I agree with all that, just did mine. Only thing I wish I’d also done, is starter also. While I had it out. And new transmission cooler lines. Still have to do them.$4500-$6000 Easy. Maybe a little more. Maybe u joints and carrier if needed, while it’s out.Its a lot of work. Worth the labor cost.

    I agree could be more and yes a great time for a starter too. Hard to estimate. I have done a 1000 probably clutch jobs. Never seen one with a identical bill. Great time for input shaft and front bearing to. Normally I have refused to slam a clutch in only. I try to explain that the labor is the most expensive, so change everything you can. I want that trans to stay in the truck till next clutch job.

    Depends on what it looks like. I have seen 3 year old 200K clutches that are over half worn out.

    We just got done with an ISX12 rear with a cracked housing. Clutch looked like new, so it was reused even though we estimated replacement. If it's a solo make sure you cage it if there is a chance you might reuse.

    That's not the rear main mine is doing the samething on the passenger side. If its not leaking alot I would try to wait until its clutch time and do it then
