I am in the process of working on my Friends 85 FB RX7. The car is equipped with a manual steering gearbox that is leaking from the bottom. I have searched but I have found no replacement seals for this gearbox. Does anybody have any idea where I can purchase seals for this manual gearbox?

 

Try mazdatrix.com or blackdragon first. There may be a rebuild kit but I doubt it.

 

8871-32-180 is the part number for the seal kit for the manual steering box

 

That is awesome thank you! Now does anyone know who still sells this part?

 

RockAuto Parts Catalog

 

I have already tried RockAuto. They only sell the seal kit for the power steering version not the manual rack. I emailed Ray at malloy but I have yet to get a response. Does anyone have his most up to date phone number?

 

Malloy is gone.

Well this just got a lot harder.

 

Mazda dealers can still get pretty much any part ever made from Japan. Stop in and talk to the parts center, pay upfront, and they will order.

 

Just an update: I went to my local Mazda and they happened to have the rebuild kit in stock. Only 4 are currently available in the United States with this kit being on of them. The kit can no longer be ordered as a whole from Japan either. Unfortunately the seal kit set me back $160 and this is very well the last one I will ever be able to get my hands on.
