Detailed Description

This Timken transmission seal is engineered to retain lubricant at the output shaft while helping keep contaminants out of the transmission sealing area. The precision sealing design, reinforced outer case, and ribbed inner diameter support a secure fit on the shaft and housing surfaces. Timken 223552 is a direct-fit manual transmission output shaft seal for select Chevrolet and Suzuki applications, including Chevrolet Spark, Chevrolet Metro, Suzuki Esteem, Suzuki Swift, Chevrolet Sprint, and Suzuki Forsa.

This part cross-references National 223552 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Transmission fluid seepage at the output shaft
• Grease or lubricant loss from the seal area
• Debris intrusion around the transmission shaft opening
• Heat-related seal wear from poor lubricant circulation
• Leakage caused by minor shaft surface imperfections

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, housing bore, and width before installation. Clean the sealing surface and inspect the shaft for scoring, burrs, or wear that could affect sealing performance. Proper seating in the housing is important for a manual transmission output shaft seal, especially on Chevrolet Spark, Chevrolet Metro, and Suzuki Swift applications. Confirm left or right position match before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Timken oil and grease seals are built with precision sealing designs and reinforced construction to support reliable sealing performance in transmission service.
