Replaced the trans input shaft seal today.
My G260 has the two piece guide tube.
The bentley manual said to only remove the "outer" 6 bolts, but I found that I wasn't able to press the new seal in as there was a lip. I ended up having to take apart the two piece assembly to drive the new seal in.
It might have been possible to just remove the inner 4 bolts, but I would have had to work around the input shaft when driving in the new seal.
Sealed everything back up with Curil T, and replaced the plastic pivot pin with a new one while I was in there.
I was going to assemble throwout bearing today, but I'm not sure which grease to use:
