Throttle body seal

[MDavis]

Where can I find a seal for my throttle body.
It's a gn1 and it leaks where the throttle linkage bolts on.
I didn't install it so I don't what it looks like removed.

Maybe so. I hadn't disassembled it and it's aftermarket.

The only way you're going to find out if that seal will fit or not; buy the seal remove the old one and compare the both sizes before installing the new.

 

[MDavis]

Yeah. I'm afraid there's not one install at all.

Ordered!

I know it sucks to spend 20.00 on something you may not need, and if it don't fit then you can sell it on the "sell it" section on this board, or EBay.
If you have another car for transportation, remove the seal and go to NAPA or any auto store and maybe they can match your existing seal for a replacement.

Lol yeah $20 and a additional $14.95 shipping.
No biggie.

15.00 shipping on that?? Wtf..

These are the stock replacement seals...not sure about aftermarket throttle bodies though. I had to contact Harwal directly in order to find a local dealer and even they had to special order them. Came out to be $7 a piece if I remember correctly. Always good to have some laying around.

Called them up and ask about shipping to your home address and it might be cheaper cost, I believe online ordering is their standard price of shipping cost.

Gbodyparts does not answer the phone. Well I've had no luck with that.

That is odd as the gbody web site states it is $20 for the two seals shipped via USPS. Which makes sense as a small flat rate Priority Mail box is $5.15

I started an order and it did the same thing to me, UPS ground.

It went up, used to be $5.65, I recently noticed that first class mail also went up.

Note that if the postage label is done online it is $5.25, up from $5.15. We always do it online and pass the savings on to the customer.

It seems the board vendors needs to update their shipping ways and definitely pass the savings back to their customer.
If not then this is one reason why many make a purchase else where.
