Installation Notes

Confirm shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to match the transmission housing and shaft interface. Inspect the sealing surface and surrounding components for wear, scoring, or debris before fitting the new seal. Clean the bore and shaft thoroughly so the nitrile sealing lip can seat evenly. Verify the application position listed for your vehicle, including front-position fitments where specified.
