REAR SEAL for MID 1500 Gearbox, Interchange List - GT-111B

Here is a picture of the original style rear seal for the MGA mid 1500 type gearbox. Originally it had felt and wide leather seal, later changed to felt and wide rubber seal (as shown in this picture).

Original BMC part no. 1H3339
Com (G) A101 (mid 1500 cars)
Fin last gearbox before (E) GD101
(not for late 1500 and later cars)

      Illustration below is an aftermarket style with felt and a rubber lip seal.


NAPA 550095 or
UNSPSC 31411705
Felt & Double lip rubber
Replacement seals commonly supplied may be simple rubber lip seal with no felt dust seal. These are not very good for this application. When the shaft moves endwise while rotating it needs the felt seal to prevent pushing dirt into the primary seal. Also the single rubber lip seal does not hold up well to sliding action of the shaft.

There will be many cross reference parts satisfying the dimensions for ID and OD. Some of the referenced seals may be narrower (especially when lacking the felt dust seal). If used, these should be installed flush with the back edge of the rear housing.


The original 1H3339 seal in felt and leather or felt and wide rubber is no longer available, except possibly as a few rare New Old Stock parts hiding in old inventory.

Some modern replacements may have felt and rubber lip seals, but more likely most of the modern seals will have double rubber lip seals as shown above. Any of these styles may be found in stock under the part numbers listed here.

The search is likely to be pot luck. If you find one you like, buy a few spares, because it may be different next time you need one.
