Rear Main Seals

Are there any new production seals being manufactured at this time? I'd hate to go through the work of changing the seal only to have it leak because the NOS seal I put in there is over 10 years old.

Thanks this is what I need to know. As far as surplus seals, the only issue is how they are being stored. The shelf life on these type of seals is 15 years but can be longer if stored properly. However, a new seal can fail just as fast as a NOS seal.

So which way are you going to go? You don't want NOS because it might leak but you believe a new one could leak just as fast as a NOS seal.. lol.. I'm confused- haha!!

I figured someone would point out the fact that even a new seal can be bad so I just stated it before the fact. I have no problem with surplus seals but as I stated it depends on how they have been stored is the question. Anyway, I got a deal on a couple surplus seals that have good dates.
