FAG SS3288 Manual Transmission Seal - Rear

Manual Transmission Seal for OE-Style Service

The FAG SS3288 manual transmission seal is built for applications that require precise sealing at the transmission opening. With a Viton sealing material, metal construction, spring support, and an auxiliary lip, this seal is specified to help maintain fluid control and keep contaminants out of the sealing area.

For technicians and parts buyers searching for a manual transmission seal for Honda Civic or similar OE-style service applications, the SS3288 provides the dimensional accuracy needed for a proper replacement. The FAG SS3288 is engineered to match demanding transmission sealing requirements where bore size, outside diameter, and seal width must align with the housing.

Detailed Description

The FAG SS3288 is a precision transmission seal designed around critical dimensional specifications. Its Viton sealing material offers strong resistance characteristics for demanding drivetrain environments, while the metal body and spring-loaded design help maintain sealing contact. The auxiliary lip adds another sealing interface to help control fluid retention and contamination at the transmission opening. Buyers comparing FAG SS3288, SS3288, and OE-style manual transmission seal options will find the dimensional data especially important for correct application matching.

This part cross-references SKF 27558 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Transmission fluid seepage at the seal surface
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture entering the sealing area
• Loss of grease or lubricant at the bearing or seal interface
• Wear-related sealing issues caused by aging or hardened seal material
• Fitment problems when the bore diameter or outside diameter does not match the housing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Clean the housing thoroughly and inspect the shaft or mating surface for scoring, corrosion, or wear that could affect sealing performance. Use proper installation tools to seat the seal evenly and avoid damaging the lip or spring during assembly. Confirm the application by vehicle, transmission, and position before ordering the FAG SS3288.

Quality Assurance

FAG sources sealing components to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and works with suppliers to maintain its quality standards. The SS3288 is built to the dimensional and material requirements expected in transmission sealing service.
