FAG SS3230 Manual Transmission Seal - Front or Rear

Manual Transmission Seal for Classic Truck Fitment

The FAG SS3230 manual transmission seal is built for front-position applications that need reliable sealing around the transmission or axle interface. It uses a nitrile sealing material with a metal case, spring, and auxiliary lip to help retain lubricant and block contamination in demanding driveline service.

Compatible With select Chevrolet, GMC, Jeep, Dodge, and Ford applications from 1965-1991, including front-position service on models such as the Chevrolet Blazer, GMC Jimmy, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and Ford F-250. The FAG SS3230 is a direct-fit style seal for many older 4x4 and truck platforms.

Detailed Description

FAG SS3230 is engineered to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications for sealing performance in wheel-end and transmission-related service. The seal design helps protect internal components from dirt, dust, and moisture while helping prevent grease or lubricant loss over the service life of the bearing or transmission assembly. Its dimensions and sealing profile make it suitable for a range of older truck and SUV platforms, including Chevrolet K10, GMC K1500, and Jeep Cherokee applications where the correct front seal is required.

Because fitment varies by vehicle class, axle design, and position, verify the application details before ordering. This part number is also referenced as global number 413 3230 100 in several listings.

What It Helps Address

• Fluid seepage at the seal interface
• Contamination from road dirt, dust, and moisture
• Lubricant loss from the transmission or wheel-end area
• Wear caused by degraded or hardened sealing material
• Service issues on older front-position driveline assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm bore diameter, outside diameter, seal width, and position before installation. Match the seal to the exact axle or transmission design noted in the vehicle listing, especially on 4WD trucks and older Dana or Spicer axle applications. Inspect the shaft or bore for scoring, corrosion, or wear before pressing in the new seal.
