SKF 26145 Automatic Transmission Oil Pump Seal - Front

SKF Automatic Transmission Oil Pump Seal 26145

SKF 26145 is an automatic transmission oil pump seal built for specific front-position applications on select Ford, Kia, and Mercury vehicles. It uses a polyacrylate sealing surface and precise dimensions to help maintain a tight seal where the transmission pump meets the shaft.

Key Features

• Part number 26145 automatic transmission oil pump seal
• Polyacrylate sealing surface for transmission sealing applications
• Outside diameter: 3.473 in.
• Shaft diameter: 2.678 in.
• Width: 0.315 in.
• Compatible with front-position applications on select Ford Escort, Kia Rio, Kia Spectra, Kia Sephia, Mercury Tracer, Ford Probe, and Mercury Capri models

Detailed Description

SKF has a long history in seal engineering, and this transmission oil pump seal reflects that focus on material selection and dimensional accuracy. The 26145 is designed to help retain automatic transmission fluid at the pump interface while keeping contaminants out, which is critical for stable hydraulic operation and long-term transmission performance. This part cross-references OE-style numbers such as E92Z7F401A and KFU01-19241A for the same application.

Fits 2001-2005 Kia Rio, Front. Fits 1991-2003 Ford Escort, N/A. Fits 2000-2003 Kia Spectra, Front. Fits 1994-2001 Kia Sephia, Front. Fits 1991-1999 Mercury Tracer, N/A. Fits 1989-1997 Ford Probe, N/A. Fits 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, N/A. The SKF 26145 is a direct-fit sealing component for these listed applications and should be matched to the vehicle’s transmission pump dimensions before installation.

What It Helps Address

• Automatic transmission fluid seepage at the oil pump seal area
• Contamination entering the transmission through a worn pump seal
• Seal wear from age, heat, and fluid exposure
• Loss of hydraulic pressure caused by a compromised pump seal
• Service replacement for front-position transmission seal applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width against the original seal before installation. Inspect the pump bore and shaft surface for scoring, corrosion, or debris, and clean all sealing surfaces thoroughly. Use proper transmission service procedures and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion or premature leakage.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures seals to defined specifications using premium materials and controlled bonding methods. The brand’s seal engineering background and production standards support consistent fit and long service life in demanding transmission environments.
