i have an 85 12a 5 speed and im changing the clutch next weekend, and while i have it out im going to swap out the trans seals. i was on rock auto and there were several different ones that ranged from $8 to $30. all it shows are part numbers, so i don't want to order the wrong thing. can someone help me out and show me the ones i need. thanks.

 

The front seals are the same through 92 and the rears are the same for all fb's so i don't know what you are looking at besides maybe brand options.

 

ok. thats a big difference in price for the same seal. thanks

 

I am doing basically the same thing...I am putting a SA22 5 speed into an SA with a 4 speed.

I thought about doing the same thing....changing the seals. The rear seal looks easy. I have not really looked at the front seal.. How do you change the front seal?

BTW...I am ready for a 5 speed.... Running 4000 RPM at 70 MPH is getting old!

 

Now you'll run 4000 rpm at 80 mph!

 

haha. basically.

 

The seal replacement is very easy. Consult the FSM for the correct procedure. It's basically a removal of the front cover, replace seal, replace gasket.
