Detailed Description

SKF 16896 is designed for vehicles that use a timing cover seal in the automatic transmission oil pump area. The seal’s dimensions and polyacrylate sealing surface help maintain the interface between rotating components and the housing, supporting proper fluid retention and helping keep contaminants out of the assembly. This makes it a practical replacement for service work on Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Acura RDX, Acura TLX, and other listed applications.

This part cross-references 010-997-50-47 and 09285-43001 for the same application. It is also listed for fitment on select Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Challenger applications, along with additional coverage for Acura ILX, Honda HR-V, and Porsche 928 models.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn timing cover seal that allows transmission fluid leakage
• Restoring sealing at the automatic transmission oil pump area
• Addressing fluid seepage around the cover or shaft interface
• Helping reduce contamination entry into the sealed assembly
• Supporting proper service on Honda, Acura, Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, and Porsche applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the application. Inspect the sealing surface, cover bore, and shaft for wear, scoring, or debris before fitting the new seal. Clean mating surfaces thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion or premature wear. Confirm the vehicle’s exact year, make, model, and position against the fitment list before ordering.
