• Grease or lubricant loss around the sealed component
• Wear-related sealing issues on service replacement applications
• Incorrect seal sizing when replacing a worn original part

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the transmission housing. Inspect the shaft surface and seal bore for scoring, corrosion, or debris before pressing the seal into place. Clean the sealing area thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the spring-loaded lip. Confirm the vehicle position and application details for your specific Mitsubishi Galant, Dodge Colt, or Porsche 928 service job before final assembly.
