Product Details

SKF 9705 is designed around exact seal dimensions and premium material selection to help maintain the correct sealing properties for the application and operating environment.

• Leaks that can lead to low lubricant level and shifting concerns
• Service replacement for a damaged or deteriorated transmission seal

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the transmission opening and shaft surface. Inspect the shaft for grooves, corrosion, or scoring that could affect sealing performance. Clean the sealing bore thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. For best results, confirm vehicle-specific fitment by year, make, model, and position before service.
