What It Helps Address

  • Transfer case fluid seepage at the PTO shaft

  • Leak-related fluid loss around the shaft opening
  • Seal wear from age, heat, and road exposure
  • Noise or drivability concerns caused by low transfer case fluid

Installation Notes

Confirm shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to match the transfer case opening and PTO shaft. Inspect the shaft surface for scoring or wear before fitting the new seal, and clean the sealing area thoroughly so the LongLife sealing surface can seat correctly.

Quality Assurance
