FAQ 50

Question: What is the correct name of the transmission seal located right behind the throwout bearing on a 1970 bug? Looking in differnt parts books, Whitney, Rocky Mtn. etc. I dont see anything by what I think it would be called.

Answer: On the transmission side I'd guess it is the "input shaft seal".

On the engine side it is the rear oil seal.

Just phone Rocky Mountain Motorworks (or one of the other suppliers). If the sales person can't help, most of them have tech people you can talk to.

Even in this electronic age I phone in all my orders.

Remember to make a list of parts and questions before you get on the phone. While on the phone with the salesperson, write down prices, part numbers, shipping charges, the phone number you called, date you called, saleperson's name, backorder status, etc. That little list helps keep track of orders if you have to call later. It's nice while on the phone to make notes.
