Detailed Description

SKF has a long history in seal design and manufacturing, and the 9818 reflects that experience with application-specific construction and premium materials. This automatic transmission shift shaft seal is made to the listed dimensions for a proper fit at the shift shaft interface, helping preserve transmission fluid integrity and reduce contamination at the sealing surface. It is a direct-fit sealing component for service work on vehicles such as the Ford Escape, Ford Taurus, Ford Tempo, Mercury Sable, and Mercury Topaz where this application is listed.

This part cross-references CSF 10673 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Replacing a worn or hardened shift shaft seal
  • Stopping transmission fluid seepage at the shift shaft
  • Reducing dirt and moisture intrusion into the transmission case
  • Restoring sealing performance during transmission service
  • Addressing leaks on listed Ford and Mercury automatic transmission applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm shaft diameter and case dimensions before installation. Clean the sealing bore and shaft surface thoroughly, and inspect the shaft for wear, scoring, or corrosion that could affect seal life. Use proper transmission service procedures and verify the seal is seated evenly to avoid distortion. Fitment includes 2001-2004 Ford Escape, 1984-1994 Ford Tempo, 1984-1994 Mercury Topaz, 1986-1992 Mercury Sable, 1986-1991 Ford Taurus, 1981-1990 Ford Escort, 1981-1987 Mercury Lynx, and 1982-1983 Mercury LN7.
