Timken 4613N Manual Transmission Output Shaft Seal - Left

Timken 4613N Manual Transmission Output Shaft Seal

Timken 4613N is a manual transmission output shaft seal built for Saturn applications that need reliable lubricant retention and contamination control. It is a direct-fit seal for select Saturn SC, SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, and SW2 models with TAAT or TAMT transmissions.

Key Features

• Reinforced outer case helps resist installation damage and supports long-term durability
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter seals minor spindle imperfections and promotes positive seating
• Internal contamination exclusion system helps block debris that can contribute to leakage
• Vent holes allow lubricant flow around the seal lip to reduce heat buildup
• Precision sealing design helps retain transmission fluid and keep contaminants out

Detailed Description

This Timken manual transmission output shaft seal is engineered for Saturn front-wheel-drive drivetrains that use TAAT or TAMT transmissions. The seal’s reinforced outer case, ribbed inner diameter, and contamination exclusion features are designed to support a secure seal at the output shaft while maintaining proper lubricant control. Timken 4613N is a practical replacement for worn or leaking transmission seals on Saturn SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, and SW2 models.

This part cross-references BBB Industries 13853 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Transmission fluid seepage at the output shaft
• Debris intrusion around the seal lip
• Heat-related seal wear from poor lubricant circulation
• Leakage caused by minor shaft surface imperfections
• Seal damage during installation on the transmission case

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify transmission type and side before installation. Clean the sealing surface, inspect the output shaft for wear or scoring, and install the seal squarely to avoid lip distortion. For best results, confirm fitment against the vehicle’s transmission code and existing seal dimensions before assembly. Compatible With 1991-1999 Saturn SL, SL1, SL2, SC, SC1, SC2, SW1, and SW2 models in TAAT or TAMT applications.

Quality Assurance

Timken manufactures oil and grease seals with precision sealing designs intended to control lubricant escape and reduce contaminant entry. Part number 4613N is built to Timken’s sealing standards for transmission service.
