I'm in the process of replacing my clutch while my engine is out. I have studied the procedure somewhat, but have never done it on my 914. I see mention of a thicker seal compared to a less beefy stock. When trying to order the rear main seal from various vendors, it only lists one type of seal (ie. erhling,sabo etc.). None of the available seals mention their thickness. All seem to list the rear main seal as part# 029105245B. And that part number seems to fit various vehicles, Bus , Type 4 VW and 914. Does anyone know where I can purchase the beefier main seal and what is the correct thickness? Is the beefier one a different part# ? Any help would be greatly appreciated, THX

I ordered this seal from Gowesty for my '75: 029-105-245: Flywheel / Flexplate Seal (Rear Main) when I read that the smaller seals didn't always provide the best fit. I wish I could remember who, on this board, made that recommendation to me.
Definitely larger than the Victor Rienz seal that came with the clutch kit. |
