For the intrested readers the tranny is off and the clutch removed.
The flywheel looked darn near perfect - no discoloration at all, no cracks (what do you expect with only 30k miles!). Almost completely perfect except for one small groove on the outer lip that was probably the edge of the disc wearing in. Will go for a very light clean up monday. The rear main seal was leaking pretty good, but there was no sign of oil on the clutch side of things. Helps explain the qt or so a month I've been using, also looks like theres a bigger leak from the oil pressure sender or cam position sensor - lots of oil behind the ac compressor.
The disc was jusst very very thin, and at some point (probably an accidental downshift to second instead of 4th) I had craked 3 of the arms holding the disc to the hub 
I have the new rear main, and the flywheel will be done on Monday. Then we just need to find aanother time to get together to lift things up and start putting it together.

Well, I got the flywheel machined today and have the other misc parts. I'll put the rear seal / flywheel / clutch back in probably tonight. I'm curious if anyone would be able to swing by any time this week just to help lift the tranny up and get a few bolts in it. Everything else I can work on myself, but there's no way I'd get that tranny back up without one or preferably two extra helpers. It's funny, when I dropped off the flywheel the guy asked what it was from. I said Contour, he raised an eyebrow and asked "4 cylinder or 6?". I replied 6, and he said "You're a brave soul." Apparently it's one of there least favorite clutches to do

That'd kick ass - my wife would be very happy to not have to cart me around anymore. I could probably be done with it completely by thursday night if it works out.
I'm thinking it takes 3 to get it back up - so hopefully Eric could swing by some time too?

I can get out of work anytime (or just take the day off to finish the whole project) - so whenever is good for Eric will work for me.
Hopefully he's not working 'till too late?

I try to come in early so I can get off early. I would like to see you car start tomorrow.
Where did you get the rear main oil seal and flywheel bolts?
