Detailed Description

This Timken transmission seal is designed for manual transmission shift shaft service where a precise seal is needed around the spindle or shaft interface. The ribbed inner diameter helps accommodate minor surface imperfections, while the reinforced outer case supports a cleaner installation and improved durability in the bore. The vented design also helps circulate lubricant around the seal lip, reducing heat accumulation during operation. This part cross-references Four Seasons 1015N and Carlson 7002 for the same application.

Use Timken 1015N when servicing manual transmission leakage concerns on vehicles such as Toyota Camry, Toyota RAV4, and Pontiac Vibe. It is also listed for Toyota Solara, Toyota Matrix, Lexus ES300, Lexus ES250, Geo Prizm, Chevrolet Prizm, Toyota Tercel, Toyota MR2, Toyota Paseo, and Chevrolet Nova applications across the model years shown below.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Transmission fluid seepage at the shift shaft
• Contamination entering the manual transmission housing
• Seal wear caused by heat and lubricant breakdown
• Leakage from minor shaft or spindle surface imperfections
• Poor sealing after a worn original seal is removed

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the shaft, bore, and surrounding sealing surface before installation. Clean away old lubricant, debris, and seal residue so the new seal can seat evenly. Confirm the housing bore and shaft dimensions match the listed specifications: 28.22 mm outside diameter, 18.00 mm shaft diameter, 28.00 mm housing bore, and 6.00 mm width. Proper alignment during installation helps protect the seal lip and outer case.
