WokeUpDead Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hi guys, I will be changing the clutch in my 1995 Patfhinder soon, I would like to change the rear engine seal since I'll have the transmission out anyway. I tried looking for that part on Rockauto.com, but could not figure out which one it is. Can anyone give me a maker/part number, or a different name for the part other than "rear engine seal?" Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Crankshaft seal, transmission end. Long story short, look under crankshaft seal, some of them come up rear main seal, others say crankshaft seal, transmission end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabama_lowlife Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Autozone calls it the rear main seal. I put one on just yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Was just on rock auto. Timken part # 228410 When you look in the description under Engine>Crankshaft Seal you will see it says rear or front. For what it's worth, I bought mine at the Nissan dealer for a whopping 45 dollars. I didn't want to but I've heard sometimes aftermarket seals don't last very long.

alabama_lowlife Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 The one I replaced was on my dad's 95 HB. Has 281k on it. It wasn't leaking after all those miles! It was the back of the oil pan leaking but we replaced it since we were there and had already bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.510 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Rear main seal, Nissan part number 12279-AD205. It's $28.48 from http://www.courtesyparts.com as a reference. I would not run an aftermarket seal here, saving $12 on one of the most expensive-to-get-to parts on the truck is not a good value IMHO. I've seen many VGs with the original RMS at 250k miles with no sign of even slight seepage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WokeUpDead Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Thanks guys, I saw the crankshaft seal on the list, but I thought those were for the front of the engine, didn't notice they come in "front" and "rear" varieties. Sounds like buying an original Nissan part is the way to go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Go in the Services section of the forum and post what you want under Genuine Nissan Parts. He will normally have it cheaper than the link Mr 510 posted as a reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
