Detailed Description

This Timken manual transmission output shaft seal is designed for vehicles that need dependable sealing at the transmission output shaft. The reinforced case supports installation, while the ribbed inner diameter helps the seal conform to small surface imperfections for a tighter fit. Timken 710118 also uses vent holes to encourage lubricant circulation around the lip, helping reduce heat concentration during operation. It is a practical replacement for manual transmission service on 1992-1999 Nissan Maxima, 1993-1999 Nissan Quest, 1992-1993 Nissan Sentra, 1993-1999 Nissan Altima, 1996-1999 INFINITI I30, 1993-2002 Mercury Villager, and select Hyundai Tiburon applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
