Default Where can I get diff seals?
I have the trans and diff out of my FRC. I had a slight leak before removing it to do my clutch over. Where can I but the seals on both sides of the diff? One is a o-ring and other is a lip seal. Also I want to replace the lip seal on the output shaft of the trans and the o-ring between the diff and trans at the same time. Do I have to go to GM to get all these?

Does anybody have a part number for the 2 oil seals on the output shaft of the transmission where it bolts to the diff? Can't seem to find a part number anywhere? Thanks.

I have the numbers for the Diff seals and O-rings. I now need the 2 seals on the output shaft of the transmission that fit in the transmission tail housing. The 2 seals are regular oil lip seals that are back-to-back to keep the tranny and diff fluids from mixing.

Are you replacing the seals with the tail shaft housing on the trans? If so, you'll need a seal driver that goes over the output shaft (Kent Moore J-42198) to install them correctly. I'll get you the part #'s tomorrow.
