911 tranny

started roadtrip,300 mi into it and left rear tire blew and threw a gator up into wheel well, tore up filler tube for rear tank, CRUSHED fender, tore brake line and vss off. bigger problem; tranny blew rear seal after I got tire and lines fixed and got back on road. Stuck in Alachua Fl. and wondering how much this is going to cost me to get it fixed. should I get it towed 300 mi home and try to do this myself or just bite the bullet and pay someone else?I've got some tools, just not sure if I can do this on the fly.

Good call and I agree it can be done on the side of the road. Dropping the driveshaft is the worst part. Removing the seal is done with a small crow bar or really bit screw driver. Driving the new seal in can be done with a single, light weight hammer if you have the gentile touch and a little patience (you don't need the perfect special to do it). Also, depending on what seal you end up getting, there are some that have the usual steel case, or some that are completely encased in a seal material with only a small soft core inside. The softer ones are much easier to pry out or install. Don't know for sure if they are better or worse but they would be easier to install.

Hope you're ok and no one got hurt. High speed blow outs SUCK!
