The first 2 links show the correct part
The 88003should bethe right part


Thanks Clare,
This morning I confirmed with a local Toyota dealer that the right parts
a
1. Rear engine seal 90311-88003 (confirmed) $47.59 (not in stock)
2. Rear transmission seal 90311-30014 (confirmed) $15.4 (not in stock)

Almost always, the dealer doesn't have parts in stock, which kind of
negates the whole function of the parts guy at a dealership.

Works a lot better on "bushings" than "bearings" but could work. Use
THICK grease!!


What worked fine was your suggestion and that of others to use grease, only
my grease gun is from the 1940s (AFAIK) and I left it in the hot sun today
to snap pictures for you, so the grease was too runny to be effective.

What worked on top of the grease was chewed up pizza, which the wife made
for me, where the bolt is a M12x1.25 that I bought yesterday to make dowel
pins out of.

I checked the M12x12 bolts in the engine block as alignment pins:

I cut the hex head off and sliced a slot for a large screwdriver to fit:

I tested that they fit in the holes in the transmission bell housing:

And then I screwed them into the engine block to act as 2 more dowel pins:

Other than the fact the clutch fork and throwout bearing fell out before I
could mark which way they do, I think I'm ready to begin reassembly.'

Any reassembly advice would be useful as most DIYs say "reassembly is the
reverse of removal", which is never the case.
