Timken 710046 Transfer Case Output Shaft Seal

Timken 710046 is a transfer case output shaft seal built for front-position applications that need reliable lubricant retention and contamination control. It is a direct-fit option for a wide range of Jeep, Dodge, Chevrolet, and GMC 4x4 platforms with New Process transfer cases.

This part cross-references National 710046 and SKF 15629 for the same application.

Key Features

• Precision sealing design helps keep gear oil and grease inside the transfer case
• Reinforced outer case resists installation damage and supports long-term durability
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter helps seal minor spindle imperfections and promotes stable seating
• Internal contamination exclusion design helps block debris that can lead to leakage
• Vent holes allow lubricant flow around the seal lip to reduce heat buildup

Detailed Description

Timken 710046 is a transfer case output shaft seal for front output applications on vehicles such as the Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Ram 1500, and Chevrolet S10. It is engineered for New Process 231, 233, 207, and related transfer case setups listed in the fitment data, making it a practical replacement when the original seal is worn, hardened, or leaking.

Use this seal when servicing a front transfer case output on 1983-2005 Jeep, Dodge, Chevrolet, and GMC trucks and SUVs. The seal design focuses on lubricant retention, debris exclusion, and stable shaft contact to support consistent sealing performance in demanding driveline conditions.

What It Helps Fix

• Transfer case fluid seepage at the front output shaft
• Oil residue around the transfer case yoke or output area
• Contamination entering the seal area during driveline operation
• Seal wear caused by shaft surface imperfections
• Heat-related seal deterioration from poor lubricant circulation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the transfer case model before installation, especially on Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Ram 1500, and Chevrolet S10 applications. Inspect the output shaft surface for grooves, pitting, or burrs before pressing in the new seal, and make sure the sealing lip is oriented correctly for the front output position. Clean the bore and surrounding area thoroughly so the seal seats evenly.

Quality Assurance

Timken oil and grease seals use precision sealing construction, a reinforced outer case, and contamination-control features to support dependable driveline service. Part number 710046 is built to meet the demands of transfer case sealing in front-output applications.
