I have never done one either, but have a gearbox out of the car so had a quick look and it certainly *looks* like it would just pull out and pop back in, yes.
Have you ever done a front/rear crank shaft seal or cam seal? It looks like the same type. So once you've removed your prop I would have thought access would be ok. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f6...ps1adddd49.jpg |

In my experience burning oil on the exhaust smell is much more likely to be a rocker cover gasket or something further forward dripping onto the exhaust. I also had a smell when my rear crank seal leaked and I think it started to coat my downpipe in oil which then burnt off.
What was it that made you think it was transmission oil? Was it leaving a puddle? |
