Detailed Product Description

FAG SS2753 is engineered for transmission sealing applications where the output shaft seal must maintain a consistent barrier against lubricant loss and outside contamination. The seal construction combines a nitrile sealing material with a metal shell and spring-loaded lip design to help maintain contact at the shaft interface. Its auxiliary lip adds another sealing surface, while the inner shell supports fit and stability in the housing.

This part number, SS2753, is listed for multiple Ford, Mercury, Mazda, and Lincoln models, including Ford Escape, Ford Taurus, Mercury Mariner, and Mazda Tribute. It also cross-references Anchor 3622 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Transmission fluid seepage at the output shaft area
• Contamination entering the transmission housing through a worn seal
• Seal wear from age, heat, and drivetrain movement
• Loss of sealing tension at the shaft interface
• Noise or drivability concerns related to low transmission fluid level

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, housing dimensions, and vehicle application before installation. Clean the seal bore and shaft surface thoroughly, and inspect for grooves, corrosion, or damage that could affect sealing performance. Proper alignment during installation helps prevent lip distortion and premature wear.
