Changing 84 DA Rear main.

Recommended Posts

Its time for a new rear main on my car.

What type of seal did the 84da have.

I bought ACL gasket and seal kits previously and have the main seals left over from them. The rope type and then the 2 piece rear main seal.

Can i use 2 piece instead of one piece?

And how is it changed?

This is 86DA, but when I bought a XF ute with T5 the block was 84DA and I'm fairly sure (may be wrong) that it had the same type of rear main as this:

Thats about all I know of them :P

slighlty thinner than yours and cut in half to make 2 semi circles, been having a look at my seal and a chat to a few guys, i think i actually have a one piece seal! i hope so anyway, because they can changed with the engine still in!

I have an orange seal in mine and looks to be one piece
