SKF 13571 Transfer Case Input Shaft Seal

SKF Transfer Case Input Shaft Seal 13571

SKF 13571 is a transfer case input shaft seal built for applications that need reliable fluid retention at the input shaft. It uses a nitrile sealing surface and precise dimensions to help maintain a tight seal where the shaft enters the transfer case.

• Transfer case input shaft seal for drivetrain sealing service
• Nitrile sealing surface for oil resistance in transfer case environments
• Outside diameter: 2.004 in.
• Shaft diameter: 1.375 in.
• Width: 0.313 in.
• SKF part number 13571 for direct identification

Application Details

Compatible with select Jeep transfer case applications, including 1963-1979 Jeep Wagoneer, 1974-1979 Jeep Cherokee, 1974-1979 Jeep CJ5, 1976-1979 Jeep CJ7, 1974-1979 Jeep J10 Quad-Trac, and 1974-1979 Jeep J20 Quad-Trac. This part cross-references 27SS3947 for the same application.

SKF has a long history in shaft seal engineering, and this seal reflects that experience with application-specific design and premium materials. The result is a transfer case input shaft seal intended to help keep lubricant inside the case and road contaminants out during normal drivetrain operation. If you are servicing a Jeep Cherokee, CJ5, CJ7, Wagoneer, J10 Quad-Trac, or J20 Quad-Trac transfer case, SKF 13571 provides the dimensional accuracy needed for a proper seal interface.

Common Problems This Seal Can Address

• Transfer case fluid leaking at the input shaft
• Oil seepage around the seal bore
• Contamination entering the transfer case through a worn seal
• Drivetrain noise or wear related to low lubricant level
• Seal deterioration from age, heat, and fluid exposure

Installation Notes

Inspect the input shaft, seal bore, and mating surfaces before installation. Clean the housing thoroughly and verify the shaft diameter and seal dimensions match the application before pressing the seal into place. A damaged shaft surface or worn bore can shorten seal life, so address those conditions during service.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures seals to defined specifications using materials selected for the application and operating environment. Part number 13571 is produced to support long service life and consistent sealing performance in transfer case service.
