I was just looking at old post's about clutch job's, and saw many of you have replaced the mainshaft seal. I was wondering if it was necessary to replace this seal. I have already ordered the 20 piece clutch kit from pelican and misc other item's which should be here tomorrow. So my deliema is do I need to wait another week for this seal, or can I reassemble without replacing it?
Thanks, Eric |

Having literally just completed that project, I can say, no you don't have to. If there is evidence of fluid loss, then yes, otherwise move along. I, too, ordered 20 piece kit from Pelican and wound up having to wait for new flywheel, rear main seal, and tranny mainshaft seal, because I had crud, oil, and fluid galore.
