Well I have had the tranny out of my M3 before and I can do that job myself, I am wondering once I get the tranny out is it difficult from there to change the rear main seal? I take it I will need to remove the clutch assembly and flywheel? Is that right? Anyone who has done this maybe you can tell me if it is easy once I have the tranny off and what not? Also is it difficult to change the oil pan gasket on my 95 M3? I can get the car up in the air but Im wondering if I have to remove anything to get to the oil pan? How hard is that?

Thanks alot guys
