Hi everyone,
So i've got a leaking rear main oil seal; at least that's what both I and the garage who just MOT'd think - it passed thankfully. Let's assume it is the rear main seal that is leaking oil on the garage floor, albeit not a lot - though when recently tuning it, the car is clearly dropping more oil when it is running than when it is parked up.
Question is, should I fix the leak? And if I do, should I replace the clutch whilst I am at it?
Whist brings me to my question, which clutch. RockAuto seem to have a good selection here
A budget option, which seems to be the one zcardepot sells for double the price. RockAuto price - £61 - here
Or for £30 more, this one - £95 - here
Can anyone give me any advice on what clutch to get? Worth mentioning the car has freshly refurbed carbs and a Zstory fast road exhaust system, so is putting out more power than stock - thought that will be the limit to my performance upgrades.
Oh, and classic newbie question. I have a '73 240z with L28 block and 5 speed box, which I assume is also 280z - so I need a 280z clutch? (just checking ;-)
Thanks, Graeme
