Common Problems This Seal Helps Address

  • Leak concerns during transmission service or rebuild work
  • Fitment issues when replacing a seal with the wrong dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the transmission application. Inspect the shaft and sealing surface for scoring, corrosion, or debris before fitting the new seal. Clean the bore thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Confirm the vehicle listing and position notes, especially for front-position applications and standard configurations.
