Timken 8160S Manual Transmission Output Shaft Seal - Rear or Rear Outer

Manual Transmission Output Shaft Seal for Dodge and Jeep

Timken 8160S is a manual transmission output shaft seal built to retain lubricant and block contaminants at the transmission output. It is a direct-fit sealing solution for a wide range of Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, and Jeep applications, including rear and rear outer positions on many classic trucks and passenger vehicles.

• Precision sealing design helps reduce lubricant escape
• Reinforced outer case helps resist installation damage
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter helps seal minor shaft imperfections
• Internal contamination exclusion system helps keep debris out
• Vent holes promote lubricant flow around the seal lip to reduce heat build-up

Application Details

Compatible with many Dodge W150, D150, D250, D350, W250, and W350 rear applications, plus select Chrysler, Plymouth, and Jeep driveline setups. This Timken 8160S seal also covers numerous 2-piece driveshaft and rear output configurations across 1950-1993 vehicles, including Dodge Dart, Charger, Challenger, Ramcharger, and Jeep CJ5 and Wagoneer listings.

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