Detailed Description

Timken SL260150 is an automatic transmission torque converter seal engineered for sealing performance in select Volvo drivetrains. Its reinforced construction helps the seal maintain shape during installation, while the ribbed inner diameter improves contact at the spindle surface for a more consistent seal. The contamination exclusion design and vented seal structure support cleaner operation around the sealing lip.

This part number, SL260150, is used in multiple Volvo applications across 2004-2019 model years, including right outer positions on XC90, XC60, S60, V60, V60 Cross Country, XC70, S80, and V70, plus a right inner application on the 2006 Volvo S80. It also covers Ford Five Hundred, Ford Freestyle, and Mercury Montego applications listed in the fitment data.

What It Helps Address

• Transmission fluid leakage at the torque converter seal
• Contamination entering the sealing area
• Seal damage during installation

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the exact position before installation: right outer, right inner, or N/A as listed for the vehicle
• Inspect the spindle and sealing surface for wear, scoring, or debris before fitting the new seal
• Clean the sealing area thoroughly so the ribbed inner diameter can seat correctly
