Front Transmission Seal and Gasket Replacement on an NA
Front Transmission Seal and Gasket Replacement on an NA
I've got to replace the front transmission seal and gasket on my NA.
Looks like its 6 bolts and pry the cover off.
Anything else I should be aware of?
Should I use RTV sealant on this gasket?
Thanks for the help!

Just as a reference for anyone searching this topic in the future;
This seal sits inside the front cover.
Pop off the front cover and pry the seal out using a screwdriver.
Don't use any RTV on the new gasket.
Most imporantly, if you're ordering the seal from Mazdatrix, save yourself the headache and order the front seal from both the 74-92 and the 92-95. If you do a side-by-side comparison the 74-92 seal is slightly taller than the 92-95.
I have a '90 NA and the front seal I ordered from Mazdatrix, 74-92 (all manual trans) Part#16-1030-0603 was NOT the correct seal and did not seat completely in the front cover.
The correct front seal that fit my vehicle was the front seal for the 92-95 Part#17-1030-H501. It was a perfect match to the one I pulled!
My tranny has never been removed before so go figure...
