This one has a second lib to the outside against dust.

I checked on this, 100 euro shipping to the states!  This can't be correct.

It's just a double lip seal. The original ones are the same.

 

You can also get them from most bearing shops. In fact, you can get triple lip types too.

 

Size is 1.000" OD x 9/16" ID x 0.300 Deep.

before two days i changed the rod change seal wih the genuine rover AHU1672 , until now everything is ok. I will share the photos soon

The problem is most likely not the seal.

 

The way the cases are machined, the shift shaft (which is in a rotating sleeve on the inside) often has too much play, well beyond what the seal - any seal - can take up. The other issue with the cimes from pounding the Roll Pin in and out with a hammer and punch, which cam distort the case.

 

Mini Spares have Anti-leak kits for these. Usually they will cure the leak.

The 'Anti leak kit' consists of an aluminium bush that is fitted behind the seal. BL or Rover at some point introduced this on the A+ units as a factory fit item. they still leak LOL.

 

I have modified these aluminium bushes in the way it should have been done from the outset and I've never experienced any leaks from the gear change rod for a long long time.

 

 Hi Sprocket,

 

How did you modify aluminum bushes?If it is not a secret...
