I have a 12 gt500 with a rear main seal leak. What is the best rear main seal you guys recommend? My local parts store tried to sell me an skf rubber seal. Is the Teflon a better option?

Thanks
Alan

Rear mains leak because of poor installation or nicked when tranny is installed . The factory units are fine.

MMR makes a one piece seal, which is a much easier install over the factory seal + dust wiper. Stock seal/wiper is a PIA, since it is fully pressed into the rear cover with no metal lip exposed to allow easy removal. If you have all the special Ford tool the service manual references should not be a problem.
