Installation Notes
Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the transmission opening and shaft. Inspect the sealing surface and surrounding components for wear, scoring, or debris before assembly. Clean the sealing area thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion or premature leakage. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, model, and position before ordering; this part fits 2005-2010 Ford Mustang, rear, 2000-2006 Lincoln LS, 2000-2004 Jaguar S-Type, and 2002 Ford Thunderbird, rear, 5R55N trans.
