Default 6 speed oil seals

Hi there, just bought a 6 speed, and need to get some new seals for peace of mind.

Front seals and prop seal, does anyone know where I can go as dealers want chassis number of reg, which I have none due o having a classic.

Thanks

Try import car parts, that's where I got my driveshaft seals from when I carried out a six speed conversion

Only reason I had to change the seals on the box was I had to fit stub axles so my shafts would fit and the original seals were too big so not sealing the stubs

Yeh mate there the right ones that fit the stub axles,
i had to get stubs from importcarparts as could not find second hand ones, the first lot of seals i got were wrong as did not check, but the part numbers ive put on are the correct ones.
all the 6 speed prop seals will be the same tho

My fault really i ordered the ones i thought were correct, think they were correct for the wr1 shafts but the stubs use different ones, made quite a mess with the oil pouring out of the front diff lol,
only snag i had and was an easy and very worth while conversion.

Great help. All ordered. Luckily my gearbox is shagged so splitting to get stubs out. Just need circlips to use on 6 speed.

Really looking forward to actually use car the way it should be used.

I might be wrong mate but think the stubs are different on the 6 speed.

The guy which is fitting said that they did a swap before and used stubs from 5 speed. I hope he's right.
