My Mounty has 252k, and while it's still moving, the transmission needs to be replaced. I'm planning on getting a Ford Reman.
My transmission shop has high ratings and I trust his advice, and he advised leaving the rear main seal as is (not replacing it), since it's not leaking at all.
He said replacing the rear main seal could be problematic and actually cause leaks ... grooves being worn in and stuff like that.
So my question is: at 252k, while the tranny is out, should the rear main seal be replaced?
