I'm looking to replace my clutch and thought I'd try ebay and i found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2434509956

I did some searching and found an exedy clutch is a decent choice for a midly modded car like mine. The item listing doesn't mention a pilot bearing seal so i emailed the seller asking if the kit came with on and he said no and that he wasnt aware of the rx-7 needing one.

I searched some more and found that it's highly recommended to use a seal, so here's my question. If i were to buy this kit, would I beable to buy a pilot bearing seal from some where else and still work fine with the pilot bearing included in the kit? And woudl i beable to get a seal locally or should i order form mazdatrix? Thanks!

 

I was able to get a pilot bearing seal at the local Autozone. Granted they had to drop ship it as there are not many RX-7s around here, but it was cheap... like less than $5.

 

goto the dealer, it costs like 5 dollars

 

its a pilot bearing seal needed... i didnt have one when i was taking my clutch andi dont have one now

 

The Haynes manual I know for a fact states that a pilot bearing seal is to be used when reinstalling the transmission after a clutch change. You should bottom the seal against the bearing to ensure a good seal.

 

Some pilot bearings I have seen have a seal built into them and a separate seal is not required. They are cheap so if you don't trust the one they send you go buy one from the dealership.

BTW: Check out my signature. I am seeling a clutch on ebay and it is currently much cheaper than the one you are looking at.

 

thanks for all the replies, I'll probably end up going through the dealer

Carmon, I'll keep an eye on your clutch
