What It Helps Address

• Transmission fluid seepage at the output shaft
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture entering the seal area
• Seal wear caused by age, heat, and drivetrain movement
• Loss of lubricant that can affect transmission operation
• Noise or drivability concerns related to low fluid level

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, bore diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm the correct application. Inspect the sealing surface for scoring, corrosion, or wear that could affect seal life. Clean the housing thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the metal case or spring.
