Common Problems This Seal Can Address

• Fluid seepage around the transfer case shift shaft
• Contamination entering the sealed drivetrain area
• Loss of grease or lubricant at the shaft opening
• Wear-related sealing issues during transfer case service
• Replacement of a hardened, cracked, or damaged shaft seal

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm the correct match for the housing. Inspect the shaft surface and surrounding bore for scoring, corrosion, or debris before pressing in the new seal. Clean the sealing area thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the rubber lip and spring assembly. Confirm application by year, make, and model before ordering, especially on Honda Accord, Honda Civic, and Lexus LX470 service jobs.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs seals using manufacturer-specific specifications and works with suppliers to meet its quality standards. The SS3613 is built to protect drivetrain components from dirt, dust, and moisture while helping preserve lubricant at the shaft interface over the life of the bearing assembly.
