Key Features

• Manual transmission seal for transmission gasket and sealing system service
• Nitrile sealing surface type for fluid sealing performance
• 2.750 shaft diameter for dimension-matched installation
• 3.756 outside diameter for proper housing fit
• 0.438 width for correct seal profile
• SKF part number 27370 for catalog and cross-reference lookup

Detailed Description

SKF 27370 is engineered as a manual transmission seal using premium materials selected for the operating environment of drivetrain service. SKF has a long history in seal design, and this part reflects that focus with a nitrile sealing surface and application-specific dimensions that help maintain lubricant retention while limiting contamination entry. When replacing a worn seal in a manual transmission, matching the shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width is critical for proper sealing performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

For Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado repair work, SKF 27370 is the type of seal technicians look for when the original seal dimensions call for a 2.750 shaft diameter and 3.756 outside diameter. The part number 27370 is useful when verifying catalog listings, service records, or interchange references.

What It Helps Solve

• Transmission fluid seepage at the seal area
• Contamination entering the manual transmission housing
• Wear-related sealing loss from an aging shaft interface
• Incorrect replacement part selection when dimensions do not match
• Service issues during manual transmission reseal repairs

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm shaft diameter, outside diameter, and seal width against the original component before installation. Inspect the shaft surface for scoring, burrs, or corrosion, and clean the housing bore thoroughly so the nitrile sealing surface seats evenly. Use proper installation tools to avoid distorting the seal lip or damaging the sealing edge. Verify that the replacement seal matches the manual transmission application before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures seals to defined specifications using materials selected for the application and operating environment. Part number 27370 is produced to support long service life and consistent sealing performance in manual transmission service.
