Evo IV Rear Main Seal help.

[Ericjustin14]

I'm looking to replace the rear main seal on my Evo iv GSR but I'm having trouble finding the part. Does anyone know if one from a later gen Evo will fit? And also if I'm look for a '6bolt' or '7bolt'. Thanks guys!

Evo 4-6 are all the same as far as I know.
The engine is a 7 bolt.

Thanks a lot evo-gsr. Big help.

MD174940 is rear main seal part number.

 

[evo-gsr]

MD311550 is the seal cover / holder part number.

Should I buy both parts? I'm having my clutch done soon and was told it's a good idea to do the rear main seal, so should I do the other as well?

 

[evo-gsr]

Its up to you....may as well while you have it out....its a cheap part so why not?

 

[Ericjustin14]

Yep you're right thanks for the help. On a side note, any other things I should change while the tranny is out? Or things to look for? Thanks.

 

[evo-gsr]

No probs. I would change the throw out bearing on the clutch too. Which should come with clutch kit anyway.

 

[Ericjustin14]

Yeah the bearing came with the clutch kit so that's all good. Thanks again. Cheers
