BIG job for such little reward LOL!
Might as well do a new Clutch kit and Lightweight Fly Wheel!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: rear main seal
11 months later? Wow.
Examine the pan gasket you removed (if possible).... Some of those gaskets had embedded metal washers that would stick on the studs and if you didn't notice and remove the washers.....then bolting the pan and new gasket still leaves a huge gap because the old stuck washer is in the way.
I found this out the hard way.....actually pulled a transmission out just to find it was not really the fault of the rear main seal at all.
If your leak really is the rear main seal, there is no shortcut: You will have to remove the transmission or the engine to replace the seal.
