Product Details

SKF 16225 is designed for transmission sealing service where the oil pump seal must keep automatic transmission fluid contained while helping block contaminants from entering the assembly. SKF has a long history in seal engineering, and this seal reflects that focus with application-specific dimensions and premium material selection. It is a direct-fit style seal for many Ford Mustang, Ford Ranger, and Ford Explorer front applications, including A4LD-E transmission listings where noted. This part cross-references CHR 16225 for the same application.

Installation Notes

Verify the transmission application, shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation.

Clean the sealing bore and mating surfaces thoroughly before installing the seal to help ensure proper seating and sealing.
