Detailed Description

This Timken manual transmission input shaft seal is used in select 1980-2003 import vehicles, including applications such as 1983-1999 Nissan Sentra, 1989-1990 Nissan 240SX, 1991-1996 INFINITI G20, and 2001-2003 Toyota Prius. Timken 710316 is designed to maintain proper lubricant retention at the transmission input shaft while helping reduce contamination that can contribute to premature seal wear and leakage.

Timken’s sealing design uses a reinforced outer case for added handling strength during installation, a ribbed inner diameter for improved contact on minor shaft imperfections, and venting features that help manage heat around the seal lip. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Seal Can Address

• Transmission fluid seepage at the input shaft
• Contamination entering the seal area
• Heat-related seal wear from poor lubricant circulation
• Leakage caused by minor shaft surface imperfections
• Seal damage during installation or service removal

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the input shaft surface, seal bore, and surrounding components before installation. Clean the sealing area thoroughly and verify the replacement seal is seated squarely to avoid distortion.
