I'm going to put a new seal in since I have the trans out and I have a small leak from it. I see that Autozone has 3 different ones though. 2 are in stock and the "high performance" one is by special order. The instock ones are rubber and teflon. The high performance one is called premium fluoroelastomer. This is for a 1 piece rear main block. Do you guys have a preference as to which is best?
