Help! Leaking rear main seal on C5 Z06

[Shifty]

I just have found out I have a rear main seal leak on my car with 18K on it. The dealership told me that the whole power train must be removed to fix this. Does anyone know of a "Good" dealership or specialty shop in New England? I don't want just anybody doing it and have to chase problems the rest of the cars life!

Fix for leaking seal

Whole drive train? I don't think so. I have been quoted it is a 4 hour job to do both sides with $50 worth of parts. Stealership....

The rear main seal and the output shaft seal are two, totally different things. To the OP, have you gotten a second opinion on the leak? Also, are you 100% sure that they said the rear main seal? If so, the entire drive train would need to be dropped.
