FD Throttle body shaft seal leak

Hey Gang,

Has anyone renewed the seals on the FD throttle body shaft? Is it a servicable part?

No info on a search, not an orderable part from mazda.

Thanks

You can order replacement piece parts through a Mazda Motorsports account.

Hows the partial throttle control with that big single butterfly?.......I was thinking that was more of a drag race part....

Got one apart. Not difficult. The seals are a "quad ring" metric size, 10mm ID x2.5mm cross, 15mm OD. Now trying to find a supplier.
