Key Features

• Precision sealing design helps control lubricant loss at the output shaft
• Reinforced outer case helps resist installation damage and improve durability
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter helps seal minor spindle imperfections and promote seating
• Internal contamination exclusion system helps reduce debris intrusion
• Vent holes allow lubricant flow around the seal lip to help manage heat buildup

Detailed Description

This Timken automatic transmission output shaft seal is engineered for vehicles that need reliable fluid retention at the transmission output shaft. The seal’s reinforced case supports installation, while the ribbed inner diameter helps maintain contact on shafts with minor surface variation. Timken 710716 is a practical replacement choice for drivers servicing a Chevrolet Aveo, Chevrolet Aveo5, Chevrolet Spark, or Pontiac G3 with the correct right-side application.

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
• Seal wear from heat buildup around the lip
• Leakage caused by minor shaft surface imperfections
• Damage from installation stress on the seal case

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the right-side application before installation and compare the old seal to the new part for dimensions and profile. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly, inspect the shaft for scoring or burrs, and install the seal squarely to avoid lip distortion. Timken 710716 should be matched to the vehicle’s transmission configuration and service manual procedures.

Quality Assurance

Timken sealing components are designed with features that support fluid control, contamination exclusion, and durable service in transmission applications. Timken 710716 reflects that engineering approach for select GM vehicles.
