Product Details

If you're tackling a transmission R&R or noticing oil dripping from the back of your 1991-2004 Acura RL, it's likely time to replace the rear main seal. This seal sits between the engine block and the transmission, preventing oil from leaking out of the crankshaft's rear main bearing. A failing seal can lead to significant oil loss, potentially damaging your engine if not addressed.

This rear main seal set from Victor Reinz is a well-built replacement designed to fit your Acura Legend, RL, or TL from the specified years. It's made with durable materials that hold up to engine oil and the pressures within the crankcase. Replacing this seal is a common part of larger engine or transmission jobs, and having a reliable seal set ensures you won't have to repeat the work due to a premature failure.

When you're putting your transmission back in, make sure to inspect the crankshaft flange for any sharp edges that could damage the new seal during installation. It's also a good idea to clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly before installing the new seal.
