FAG SS2623 Manual Transmission Output Shaft Seal - Front

Manual Transmission Output Shaft Seal for Ford, Dodge, Jaguar

FAG SS2623 is a manual transmission output shaft seal built for specific Ford, Dodge, Jaguar, Lincoln, and Mercury applications. It is engineered with a metal case, spring, and auxiliary lip design to help retain transmission fluid and keep contaminants out of the sealing area.

With a polyacrylate sealing material and precise dimensions, this seal is suited for service work where the original seal has hardened, worn, or begun leaking. Compatible applications include the 2000-2016 Ford Focus, 2008-2009 Dodge Caliber, and other listed vehicles.

Detailed Description

FAG SS2623 is designed for transmission sealing applications where dimensional accuracy and material selection matter. The metal-supported construction and spring-loaded sealing profile help maintain contact at the shaft surface, while the auxiliary lip adds an additional sealing barrier. The polyacrylate sealing material is selected for demanding drivetrain environments.

This part cross-references Bosch 15716 for the same application. It also aligns with Schaeffler global seal number 413 2623 100 in listed fitments. Use SS2623 when servicing manual transmission output shaft sealing on vehicles such as the Ford Focus, Dodge Caliber, Jaguar S-Type, Jaguar X-Type, Lincoln LS, Mercury Cougar, Ford Contour, and Mercury Tracer.

What It Helps Address

• Transmission fluid leakage at the output shaft
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture entering the seal area
• Seal wear from age, heat, and drivetrain movement
• Loss of lubricant at the transmission end of the shaft
• Service replacement for a damaged or hardened original seal

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Clean the shaft and housing thoroughly, inspect for scoring or wear, and verify the seal orientation before pressing it into place. For best results, match the application by year, make, model, and transmission configuration listed in the fitment data.
