Default Rear main seal brand?
Im in the process of changing my clutch. My rear main seal looks alright, but it seems like it is "do it while you're in there" kind of preventative maintenance item. Is this something I should go with an OEM part on, or is something like a Felpro, National or SKF going to be fine? I know some people get picky with seals like this, since they are tighter tolerance.
