Detailed Description

Timken 710715 is an automatic transmission output shaft seal engineered for vehicles that require a reliable seal at the transmission shaft interface. In applications such as Chevrolet Aveo, Chevrolet Aveo5, Pontiac G3, and Chevrolet Spark, this seal helps maintain proper lubricant containment while supporting clean operation around the shaft opening. The reinforced case and ribbed inner diameter are intended to improve fit and sealing performance where the shaft surface is not perfectly uniform.

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

What It Helps Address

• Transmission fluid seepage at the output shaft
• Contamination entering the seal area
• Leakage caused by minor shaft surface imperfections
• Heat buildup around the seal lip
• Seal damage during installation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application and left-side position before installation. Inspect the shaft surface, seal bore, and surrounding components for wear or damage before pressing in the new seal. Clean the sealing area thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Confirm proper seating after installation and check for leaks during road testing.

Quality Assurance

Timken designs its oil and grease seals with precision sealing features, contamination exclusion, and durability-focused construction for transmission service. The Timken 710715 reflects that engineering approach for output shaft sealing applications.
