Detailed Description

SKF 16271 is engineered as an automatic transmission seal with dimensions matched to the application: 1.627-inch shaft diameter, 2.360-inch outside diameter, and 0.389-inch width. The nitrile sealing surface is selected for transmission environments where fluid retention and contamination control are critical.

The SKF 16271 seal is also identified by part number 16271 in catalog and service lookup systems.

Common Uses

  • Replacing a leaking automatic transmission seal
  • Restoring fluid retention at the shaft sealing point
  • Addressing transmission fluid seepage during service
  • Helping reduce contamination entry into the transmission
  • Supporting repair of worn or hardened seal surfaces

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.
