Wtd, Opel Manta gearbox output seal
grahamgg - 30/4/09 at 03:55 PM

I urgently require a opel manta gearbox output oil seal, for a 1.8 5 speed.

I have phoned round Opel/Manta specialists etc, today and cant get one anywhere,

The problem is I now urgently need one for tomorrow, as the car is supposed to be going to Stoneleigh on Saturday.

Does anyone know where I can get one, or has anyone got one going spare, Ideally close to Newcastle Upon Tyne, but I would consider travelling further to collect.

Thanks Graham

tried them, they need the dimensions which I don't have, as the seal is still on the car and I've just got back fro work.

I might as a last resort send my Son down there tomorrow with the old seal.

thanks Graham

i just checked, seems to be about a 3 hour drive for you, but like you say, as a last resort, whip the old one out tonight, send him down there first thing in the morning, you could have it done by this time tomorrow.

any bearing suppliers near to you at all (unlikely, but you never know)
