Do you have to remove transmission replace the rear main oil seal in a 2000 Chevy cavalier?

Yes, on a 2000 Chevy Cavalier (and most front-wheel-drive vehicles), you generally have to remove the transmission to replace the rear main oil seal. The seal is located at the back of the engine, where the engine and transmission meet. The transmission needs to be moved or removed to access and replace the seal properly.
