Detailed Product Description

The SKF 17746 automatic transmission output shaft seal is manufactured with a nitrile sealing surface, which offers excellent resistance to heat, oil, and wear. Its dimensions—0.313 inches in width, 3.194 inches outside diameter, and 1.750 inches shaft diameter—are engineered to fit the output shaft of Cadillac Eldorado transmissions precisely. This ensures a tight seal that prevents transmission fluid leaks, which can lead to transmission damage or reduced performance over time.

Applications and Problem Solving

This transmission output shaft seal is used to maintain the integrity of the automatic transmission system by sealing the output shaft area. It addresses several common issues:

• Prevents transmission fluid leaks that can cause low fluid levels
• Reduces contamination from dirt and debris entering the transmission
• Helps avoid premature wear of transmission components due to fluid loss
• Maintains proper hydraulic pressure within the transmission system
• Minimizes the risk of transmission overheating caused by fluid leakage

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure the output shaft and seal housing are clean and free of debris before installation
• Lubricate the sealing surface with transmission fluid to ease installation and prevent damage
• Use proper tools to press the seal evenly into place without distortion
• Verify the seal is seated flush and not tilted to avoid leaks
• Check for any signs of wear or damage on the shaft before installing the new seal
