Timken 473463 Manual Transmission Output Shaft Seal - Rear

Timken 473463 Manual Transmission Output Shaft Seal

Timken 473463 is a manual transmission output shaft seal built for rear applications on select Jeep models with a Warner T18 transmission. It is engineered to help retain lubricant at the output shaft while keeping dirt and debris out of the transmission housing.

Compatible with 1966-1978 Jeep CJ5 and 1976-1978 Jeep CJ7 rear manual transmission applications, this seal supports service work where a worn output shaft seal is causing leaks or contamination concerns.

Key Features

• Manual transmission output shaft seal for rear installation points
• Precision sealing design helps reduce lubricant escape
• Reinforced outer case helps resist installation damage
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter helps seal minor spindle imperfections
• Internal contamination exclusion design helps block debris entry
• Vent holes promote lubricant flow around the seal lip to reduce heat build-up
