Front Main Seal - Same as Probe?

[rippledabs]

I am replacing my timing belt, water pump, and all the pulleys, and I want to swap the front main seal while I am at it. (1993 MX-3 1.8 V6)

But I am having some trouble finding one for the MX3. Will the one from the probe work?

is this the correct one?

If in doubt you can find a picture of any part of the car in the online manuals. Page B2-096 shows the front main seal. The picture you posted looks like the rear main seal to me.

I've sent Rockauto an email and they answer back right away. Ask them.

i dont think so ive orderd a front main seal for mx3 for my ZE and the k8 was actually smaller than the probe one... i needed the probe one to fit... so probe = bigger... who woulda thought that?

Once again I need to ask. Why don't you get one from the Dealership. There is a Mazda on line store in the US as well. I've looked at seals from the Dealer and aftermarket and usually the Dealer ones are superiour.
