My TruTrac has a very minimal amount of slop in it. I've never measured it, but you can feel it if you rotate the wheels back and forth with the car on jack-stands. You don't feel it in the car...

You're 100% positive it's the rear main seal and not the pan gasket? The rear corners of the pan as well as the half moon cutout below the rear main is notorious for leaking. The factory pan...

How do you want to use the car? If it's resale value you're after, I'd continue the search for proper date coded drivetrain parts.

This is similar to what I just went through with my car. I had three items that were in the process of failing.
