Gearbox oil seal required.URGENT.

My Bongo is off the road in need of a gearbox oil seal. We have one on order but it could be late September before it arrives. We were due to go on holiday to France on the 14th.
Can anyone help with the supply of the seal or have any idea where I can get one next week.

Based near Bradford but willing to pay postage or collect.
The seal is the one in front of the gearbox, behind the torque converter

Thanks I'll try them.
I am not able to measure it until the gearbox is out next week.
Does anyone have the dimensions ? [Oil seal at the front of the gearbox behind the torque converter]

We don't know the part number yet. Where did you get this number from.
I understand this gearbox is a Jatco R4A EL and may be the same as a Nissan gearbox. If so Nissan may have a seal. Can anyone confirm this ?

A full parts list /exploded diagrams of the autobox is in the members fact sheet area .. you could try www.automaticchoice.com for the seal(s)

Quote ....
Earlier versions of the Mazda Bongo and Ford Freda use a Nissan automatic gear
box, code number RE4.
This document is a scan of a product catalogue supplied by a component supplier
called Automatic Choice. It lists all the components that can be found within the
RE4 automatic gear box.
Their website can be found at www.automaticchoice.com

Thank you for all the help and suggestions.
Part number BV3519241 may well be the right part number [after checking the diagrams.]
Does anyone have one ?
