Anyone know where to get these specific o-rings? Both of mine have chunks taken out. Not sure what's causing it though. But both o-rings look the same. I have a metric o-ring kit and spare injector o-rings but nothing matches up with these. Don't care to spend $100 or whatever just for these two little things. What are y'all doing? Thanks!!!

Guy named Ian Badgett on my Facebook helped me out. Dunno what he searched for but he sent me this link. I measured and confirmed with the o-rings that I have and have a pack on order. Hopefully this helps everyone else, because I know parts are getting hard to find and screw paying $100 for a rebuild kit for two seals. This is on ebay of course.

Thank you! What a great alternative and I appreciate you sharing it. :thumb:
 
The only question that remains in my head is wondering what's causing the orings to do this.
 
Yeah what the hell its cutting them? Is it mechanical or hydraulic that is causing it is a big question.
 
Can't tell if it's being cut or an indention in the rubber from being pressed up against something. Wonder if anyone can confirm what theirs looks like after use.
 
Just a heads up but I didn't pay attention to the shipping date. Thought it would be a matter of days. I mean it's just an oring. Apparently it's sometime in mid July and no one has them that I've been able to find. So if you plan on pulling the transmission apart, might wanna order in advance just to be safe.
 
P.S. There's no way to expedite the shipping either. You get it when you get it I guess. 😒
 
Ones broken might not be nitrile or viton as plain rubber does not like some fluids and causes it to snap. The nitrile should be good enough. If they slide in upon assembely then lube them to not roll and bind. I dont know this location in the trans to be exact with how it might effect it
 
Contacted my local dealer today.

John from Performance Partout told me this today after discussing the issue with him. I ordered some used ones they had in good condition because I don't have time to wait a month. So if you need any a bit faster, he may have some here soon.
