SKF 14655 Manual Transmission Seal - Rear

SKF 14655 Manual Transmission Seal

SKF 14655 is a manual transmission seal built for rear applications where shaft sealing and lubricant retention matter. With a 1.465 shaft diameter, 2.385 outside diameter, and polyacrylate sealing surface, it is specified for a precise fit in a range of rear transmission and extension housing locations.

Compatible with select Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird rear applications, this seal also appears in fitments for Astro, Safari, Rodeo, and Aerostar models. SKF 14655 is engineered to help maintain proper sealing performance in drivetrain service where contamination control is critical.

Key Features

• Manual transmission seal for rear installation points
• 1.465 shaft diameter for application-specific fitment
• 2.385 outside diameter for housing compatibility
• Polyacrylate sealing surface type
• Designed for lubricant retention and contaminant exclusion
• SKF part number 14655 for direct identification

Detailed Description

SKF 14655 is a rear manual transmission seal designed around exact dimensional requirements rather than a universal profile. The listed width of 1.508, outside diameter of 2.385, and shaft diameter of 1.465 help match the seal to the correct transmission or extension housing interface. The polyacrylate sealing surface supports consistent contact at the shaft, which is important in rear transmission and extension applications where fluid control is essential. This part number 14655 is a practical choice for service work on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, Chevrolet Astro, GMC Safari, Isuzu Rodeo, and Ford Aerostar when the listed fitment matches the vehicle configuration.

SKF has a long history in seal design and manufacturing, and this part reflects that focus on precise materials and application-specific construction. This part cross-references CHR 14635 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Transmission fluid seepage at the rear seal area
• Contamination entering the transmission or extension housing
• Wear-related sealing loss at the shaft interface
• Service replacement for a damaged or hardened seal
• Fitment-specific repair needs on rear transmission applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the housing and shaft dimensions. Inspect the sealing surface and mating components for scoring, burrs, or wear that could affect sealing performance. Clean the bore and shaft thoroughly before installing SKF 14655, and confirm the seal is seated squarely to avoid distortion during assembly.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures seals to defined design and material standards for application-specific service life and dependable sealing performance. The brand’s seal engineering background and dimensional control support consistent use in drivetrain repair.
