Detailed Product Description

FAG SS3697 is engineered for transmission sealing applications where the output shaft area needs a precise fit and stable sealing performance. The listed dimensions help match the seal to the housing bore and shaft interface, while the auxiliary lip and spring-loaded construction support retention of transmission fluid and exclusion of dirt, dust, and moisture. This part number is used across multiple Nissan and Infiniti platforms, including Nissan Altima, Nissan Rogue, Nissan Sentra, and INFINITI G20 applications.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Transmission fluid seepage at the output shaft
• Contamination entering the seal area from road debris, dust, or moisture
• Wear at the shaft seal interface caused by degraded sealing material
• Incorrect seal fit when replacing a worn manual transmission output shaft seal
• Noise or drivability concerns related to low transmission lubricant level

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle position, side, and transmission application before installation. Match the bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width to the original seal specifications, and inspect the shaft surface and housing for scoring or corrosion before pressing in the new seal. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly so the lip can seat evenly.

Quality Assurance

FAG sources seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and works with suppliers to maintain its quality standards. SS3697 is built for demanding wheel-end and sealing environments where contamination control and lubricant retention are critical.
