Yes changing the RMS would be a good idea, But if it's not leaking and you are not going to use the proper installation tools, then might be best left alone. If you do want to change it, then purchase the upgraded seal and rent the tools from LNE. And I know some will say it can be done with DIY tools, it simply is not worth having to possibly pull the trans again for a mulligan.

Good Luck
Thank you! I saw the Z seal... but will roll with the Porsche part.

Do you believe I should be buying new bell housing bolts... or any other bolts associated with the reinstallation of the transmision? I'm a little concerned about torquing down the bolts knowing that in some cases reusing bolts is a no-no.

Thank you!
