SKF 23888 Transfer Case Input Shaft Seal

SKF 23888 is a transfer case input shaft seal built to retain lubricant and help keep dirt, water, and other contaminants out of the transfer case assembly. With a polyacrylate sealing surface and precise shaft and housing dimensions, it is a direct-fit service part for select Toyota applications, including Toyota RAV4, Camry, and Corolla models.

• Part number: 23888
• Outside diameter: 3.082 in.
• Shaft diameter: 2.402 in.
• Width: 0.531 in.
• Polyacrylate sealing surface type
• Transfer case input shaft seal for select Toyota vehicles

Built Around the Seal Dimensions

This SKF transfer case input shaft seal is specified by its critical dimensions, including a 3.082-inch outside diameter, 2.402-inch shaft diameter, and 0.531-inch width. Those measurements matter when servicing the transfer case on Toyota RAV4, Camry, and Corolla models because the seal must seat correctly to maintain a proper barrier at the input shaft. SKF has a long history in seal engineering, and this part reflects that focus on material selection and application-specific design. This part cross-references Chrysler (e.g., CHR 23888) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Transfer case fluid seepage at the input shaft
• Contamination entering the transfer case housing
• Seal wear from age, heat, and fluid exposure
• Loss of lubricant retention around the shaft opening
• Service replacement for damaged or hardened seals

Installation Notes

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm correct fitment. Inspect the input shaft and sealing bore for scoring, corrosion, or debris before pressing in the new seal. Clean the sealing surface and follow the vehicle service procedure for transfer case service on Toyota RAV4, Camry, or Corolla applications. Part number 23888 should be matched to the original seal dimensions before assembly.
