The 13.8 seal looks to have superceded the 14.0 seal, most likely to make it grip the shaft better.

The 13.8 seal looks to have superceded the 14.0 seal, most likely to make it grip the shaft better.

I ordered from 2 different vendors, 1 indicated it was 14mm, the other indicated 13.8 mm (on the websites).  Both Honda seals, when I received both, I measured and both were the same(13.8).  With the magnifying glass, both were marked 13.8.

I installed this afternoon and will try to go on a ride in the few days, hopefully it won't leak.  I wrapped the end of the gear shift arm with tape, lubed up the seal and the gear shaft, it went on easily.
