Rear main seals and front transmission seals will run $400.00 to $500.00. The engine or transmission has to come out of the car.If you have this done you should also have the pan gasket replaced. about $30.00 extra. If it's the transmission seals have both the rear main and pan gasket replaced. And vise versa.
sea foam makes an additive for reconditioning seals in the engine(rear main included)....cost about twelve dollars....use according to directions on package...then sell
You should not have to replace the master or slave cylinder with a rear main seal but if the clutch has alot of miles on it you should have that done with the seal because you will be paying for almost all of the labor with the seal.
I have done many the transmisson has to come out to replace it but your price is way out of line, should not be more than $400.00 give me a zip and I can get you a certified shop that can do it for less with a warrenty.
My 1997 Dodge Neon has this same problem. My father-in-law (who used to be a mechanic) checked the car for me and found the rear main seal needs replacing.
