Some more info, I hope it helps. I took the car out last night and brought it up to operating temperature. Now when I push the clutch in all the way the car stalls. It does not stall with the oil cold and the clutch depressed. It only slows the engine down and it vibrates side to side. I also watched the oil pressure when the engine was hot. When I depressed the clutch it acted the same, kinda like a slow drop about 1 seconds after depressing the clutch, following the RPM’s of the motor. Although the car stalls so quick when it’s warm. At that point the oil pressure drops to zero which will happen.

I did not have a second person to watch the crank shaft, but I would think that it would move with or without the oil being cold. Let me know if I’m wrong.

One last question, can you change the rear main seal without removing the engine?

Best Regards and as always thanks in advance!!
