I bought a speedo drive seal from GPR last week and it looks like the shifter seal only smaller. The haynes manual shows an 0-ring. Does anyone know which is correct before I try to replace it. The part number I have for the new one from GPR is 999.113.036.50.

There are two seals: an O-ring that seals the drive housing to the tranny case, which you can see when you remove the bolt and pull the drive out of the tranny, and a seal (which you already have) that seals the rotating shaft. You can see the seal when you unscrew the bottom half of the drive housing from the top half.
I can look up the number for the O-ring when I get home in a couple of hours. I know Pelican has the O-ring, but I don't see it on their site. It will come up if the Porsche part number is typed in though. Andrew |

O.K. The O-ring part number is 999.701.084.50
Pelican should have them. That's where I got mine from. Andrew |

I don't remember any seal but the o-ring on the speedo drive. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Yes. The seal you showed goes there. Unthread the two halves and pull the shaft out.

Mine seems to be a bit loose at that point. Could it be coming unthreaded or the seal going bad?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

What I saw when I pulled it apart was that you can't replace the internal seal unless the machined casing can be split open.
