Detailed Description

This SKF transmission seal is made for vehicles that require a front oil pump seal in the automatic transmission assembly. The 15554A part number is listed for 2009-2011 Ford Escape front applications and 2010-2011 Ford Fusion front applications, making it a direct-reference choice for those fitments. SKF’s seal design approach focuses on matching material properties and geometry to the operating environment so the seal can maintain lubricant retention and contamination control in service.

This part cross-references Ford OE number 9L8Z7A248D for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Transmission fluid seepage at the oil pump seal area
• Loss of hydraulic pressure caused by seal wear
• Contamination entering the transmission through a worn seal interface
• Service issues during front pump seal replacement on Ford Escape and Ford Fusion models

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the shaft diameter and seal type before installation to match the transmission pump bore and shaft surface. Inspect the pump hub, sealing surface, and surrounding components for wear or scoring before fitting the new seal. Clean the sealing area thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion or premature leakage. Verify vehicle application by year, model, and front position before ordering.
