$20 stops an FJ40

Nice pic, TD.

I just installed an OEM seal that came in the Toyota engine gasket set. It had felt on the outside, and an inner rubber lip seal. It came from the Toy dealer a couple months ago. FWIW...

That is an older seal...I have not seen one of them for a couple years now.

Musta been an old stock gasket kit.

My truck was also towed this weekend
Was heading home yesterday and after 2 back-fires, she died.
Called AAA and found out what the max towing distance is for regular members (6miles).

It just didn't feel right to take a pic...

they have the same part # as OEM...

would this be an old version? still usable for my 40?

obviously need to buy 2 since I *will* screw the first one up.

usually you can get it for about $40.. My bet is you have some BA or other aftermarket seal.

In this instance I would go nothing short of OEM.

Please do not think that simply because they use an OEM number to identify their stock that you will be getting an OEM piece for 14.99.....

Those JTO seals are junk! they only use the OEM part # as a reference for their inventory purpose...::

Hi All:

X2 what "Mustard" said!

Like everything else, practice makes perfect! Seals are no different than anything else!

"I feel your pain"...Getting the tranny in/out is not fun.

The last time I did it, it took at least 20 minutes tapping the seal in... from the good old day the LCML list, I was told to used the OEM seal and even still have an extra seal laying around just in case the seal didn't come in right and got damage.
