This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Product Description

SKF has a long history in seal engineering, including early integrated shaft seal development and ongoing refinement of sealing materials and bonding methods. The 15809 manual transmission seal uses nitrile sealing material and precise dimensional sizing to help maintain a proper seal at the transmission shaft interface. For Mazda MPV and Mazda B2600 rear applications, correct seal dimensions are critical for keeping lubricant contained and reducing contamination at the transmission housing.

What It Helps Address

• Transmission fluid leakage at the rear seal area
• Contamination entering the manual transmission housing
• Wear-related sealing loss at the shaft interface
• Service replacement for a damaged or hardened seal
• Fitment-specific repair needs on Mazda MPV and Mazda B2600 rear applications

Installation Notes

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the transmission housing and shaft dimensions. Inspect the sealing surface and surrounding components for wear, scoring, or debris before fitting the new seal. Clean the bore and shaft area thoroughly so the nitrile sealing lip can seat evenly.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures seals to defined design and material standards for application-specific performance. The brand’s sealing products are engineered for long service life and consistent sealing behavior in automotive environments.
