got the clutch off and seal under it looks pretty good, not purshed out like one on the other side. So called the Stihl dealer here, Stihl lists 2 different seals, the dealer will have to order them so doesn't know the difference. I am wondering if one is better than the other. One is about $6, the other is $17+. Or you can get a set of 20 from Amazon for about $14. Does someone know the difference in seals other than price?

A seal that "looks good" still may be leaking. As to which one is the correct one, I suppose I'd be asking the dealer to match up the specs and get the right one. Or maybe there is a right side seal and left side seal and they are different and he isn't explaining that? I'd do both seals if I had the saw that far apart.

No I cannot by memory and a 391 seal is likely different than the clamshell engines I worked on. Stihl is very protective about parts and maintenance manuals being published on the web and has then taken down as soon as they spot them. You have about 3 choices. Find a good dealer, contact Stihl via the web site. Or join one of the Chainsaw forums and ask, link is to a good one with friendly knowledgeable people.
