FAG SS2960 Manual Transmission Seal - Rear or Rear Outer

Manual Transmission Seal for OE-Style Fitment

FAG SS2960 is a manual transmission seal built for applications that require controlled sealing around a 1.886" shaft. It uses a metal case, spring, and auxiliary lip design with polyacrylate sealing material to help maintain a clean sealing surface in demanding driveline environments.

With fitment across Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Ford, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Jeep, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Hummer applications, this seal is specified for a wide range of rear and rear outer positions. FAG SS2960 is a direct-reference choice for service work where shaft size and transmission configuration must match exactly.

Detailed Description

FAG SS2960 is engineered to seal transmission and transfer case interfaces where contamination control and lubricant retention are critical. The seal design helps block dirt, dust, and moisture while retaining grease at the bearing or shaft interface over the service life of the component. Its metal case supports stable fitment, while the spring-loaded lip and auxiliary lip help maintain sealing contact under operating conditions.

Fitment coverage includes long-tail applications such as Fits 2006-2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, rear; Fits 2001-2006 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, rear; Fits 1997-2001 Dodge Ram 1500, rear; and Fits 1984-1987 Ford F-150, N/A with New Process 208 and a 1.886" shaft. It also appears in classic and specialty applications including Chevrolet Corvette, GMC Jimmy, and Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit. The FAG SS2960 part number is also referenced in OE-style service listings as 4132960100.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Transmission fluid leakage at the shaft seal area
• Contamination from road dirt, dust, and moisture
• Grease loss at the bearing or seal interface
• Seal wear in high-mileage manual transmission service
• Incorrect replacement selection when shaft size or position must match exactly

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify shaft diameter, bore diameter, and seal width before installation.
• Match the vehicle position and transmission or transfer case configuration listed in the fitment data.
• Inspect the shaft surface for scoring, corrosion, or wear before installing the new seal.
• Clean the housing and sealing surface thoroughly to avoid premature leakage.
• Confirm the application-specific notes for rear and rear outer positions on Dodge, Chevrolet, and GMC models.
