If you have an over heating problem or a oil leak between your engine and Gear Box you will find you may have to replace the rear main seal and plate, this job can be done by one person. I made a Video with a quick overview.

how to fix a over heating issue on a Holden commodore, Berlina, Calais ect... water loss between engine and gear box, rear main seal and plate.

1. Remove exhaust
2. Remove Tail shaft
3. remove Gear Box
4. Remove rear main plate
5. clean gasket from block

Now install New Plate/Gasket seal
Reinstall Gear Box, Tail Shaft & Exhaust :)
