Timken 224215 Manual Transmission Output Shaft Seal - Rear

Timken 224215 Manual Transmission Output Shaft Seal

The Timken 224215 manual transmission output shaft seal is built to retain lubricant at the transmission output while helping block dirt and debris from entering the housing. It is a direct-fit sealing component for select Nissan applications, including Nissan Xterra, Pathfinder, 240SX, Pulsar NX, and 300ZX models.

Key Features

• Precision sealing design helps control oil and grease leakage at the output shaft
• Reinforced outer case helps resist installation damage and improve durability
• Ribbed N-Polyacrylate inner diameter helps seal minor shaft imperfections and promote seating
• Internal contamination exclusion system helps reduce debris intrusion that can lead to leakage
• Vent holes allow lubricant flow around the seal lip to help manage heat buildup
• Helix type: CCW, counter clockwise
• Dimensions: 2.294 in. outside diameter, 1.654 in. shaft diameter, 2.283 in. housing bore, 0.374 in. width

Detailed Description

Built for transmission sealing service, Timken part number 224215 uses a precision-engineered sealing profile and N-Polyacrylate material to help maintain a stable seal at the manual transmission output shaft. The reinforced outer case supports installation durability, while the ribbed inner diameter is designed to conform to minor spindle wear for a more consistent fit. Vent holes help circulate lubricant around the seal lip, which assists in reducing heat buildup during operation. This seal cross-references National 224215 for the same application.

Common Issues This Seal May Address

• Transmission fluid seepage at the output shaft
• Contamination entering the rear of the transmission
• Leakage caused by worn or imperfect shaft surfaces
• Heat-related seal wear from poor lubricant circulation
• Seal damage from a compromised outer case during service

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the output shaft, housing bore, and surrounding sealing surface before installation. Clean the bore thoroughly and verify the seal dimensions match the application, including the 58.27 mm outside diameter, 42.00 mm shaft diameter, 58.00 mm housing bore, and 9.50 mm width. Proper alignment during installation helps prevent case distortion and sealing lip damage. Confirm the counter-clockwise helix orientation matches the transmission design before fitting Timken 224215.
