Timken 223255 Manual Transmission Input Shaft Seal

Timken 223255 is a manual transmission input shaft seal built to retain lubricant and block contaminants at the transmission opening. It uses an S-Nitrile sealing material, a reinforced outer case, and a ribbed inner diameter to help seat against minor shaft imperfections.

Compatible With Subaru Impreza, Forester, WRX, WRX STI, Legacy, Outback, XV Crosstrek, Baja, and Saab 9-2X rear applications, this seal also fits select Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, and Oldsmobile front applications. The Timken 223255 seal is sized for a 1.260 shaft diameter, 2.058 outside diameter, and 2.047 housing bore.

Key Features

S-Nitrile construction for transmission sealing applications
Reinforced outer case helps resist installation damage
Ribbed rubber inner diameter promotes positive seating on the shaft
Internal contamination exclusion system helps block debris entry
Vent holes allow lubricant flow around the seal lip to reduce heat buildup
Dimensions: 1.260 shaft diameter, 2.058 outside diameter, 2.047 housing bore

Detailed Description

This manual transmission input shaft seal is designed for drivetrain service where lubricant retention and contamination control matter. Timken 223255 uses a precision sealing design to help keep gear oil in the transmission while limiting the entry of dirt and debris that can contribute to leakage and wear. The reinforced case adds durability during installation, and the ribbed inner diameter helps the seal conform to minor spindle imperfections for a more secure fit. This part cross-references National 223255 and SKF 12494 for the same application.

For Subaru rear applications, Timken 223255 is used on 2002-2019 Subaru Impreza, 1998-2018 Subaru Forester, 2015-2018 Subaru WRX, 2015-2018 Subaru WRX STI, 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, 2004-2014 Subaru Legacy, 2000-2002 Subaru Legacy, 2000-2014 Subaru Outback, 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X, and 2003-2006 Subaru Baja. It also fits select front applications on Chevrolet Astro, Blazer, S10, S10 Blazer, GMC Jimmy, Safari, Sonoma, S15 Jimmy, S15, Oldsmobile Bravada, Dodge Raider, and Subaru Standard models.

What It Helps Solve

Transmission fluid seepage at the input shaft opening
Contamination entering the transmission through a worn seal
Leakage caused by a hardened or damaged original seal
Poor sealing on shafts with minor surface imperfections
Heat-related seal wear from inadequate lubricant flow around the lip

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm shaft diameter, housing bore, and application position before installation. Inspect the input shaft and bore for scoring, corrosion, or debris, and clean the sealing surface thoroughly before pressing the seal into place. Use care during installation to avoid distorting the outer case or sealing lip. Verify the transmission type and position, especially on Subaru rear applications and select front applications for Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, and Subaru models.

Quality Assurance

Timken designs its oil and grease seals with precision sealing features to support lubricant retention and contamination control in drivetrain service. Part number 223255 is built to the listed dimensions and application coverage for direct replacement use.
