Can anyone confirm a part number for an 86 Brat


Recommended Posts

Ive determined the source of my MAJOR oil leak is the RF output shaft seal. Ive searched for one, but Im having a hard time deciding which one to buy because Im seeing several different listings for the same year/trans. The last thing I wanna do is take the seal out and not have the right seal to put back in...

If anyone has a definitive answer on a factory or aftermarket part number and maybe the dimensions, that would be a great help.

Your dealer sounds like a real dweeb.F`n useless.Find another.

 

These #s are all over the place.

I found them in both my 1985 Chiltons Import Labour guide and parts manual and my 1991 Mitchell mechanical parts and labour guide books.

 

Inexcusible that the dealer can`t be bothered to find them.

I think the guy was just not very knowledgeable. He did spend quite a bit of time and more than a couple phone calls trying, he just couldnt come up with anything. One of my coworkers says he knows a REAL GOOD subaru parts guy in upstate NY that can help me out.

I worked in a dealership and it was pretty difficult for the counter reps to look things up for the older ones compared to todays cars. The systems have been changed from a paper or microfiche system to a computerized and some of the information got lost in translation.

 

I feel very fortunate to have dealer parts catalogs and a wholesale account to order directly from my suppliers with the original numbers instead of waiting for the rep to find it.

If you have trouble finding a part and a counter can't help you feel free to give me a try. A little shipping might be less than tax in some cases.
