Key Features & Benefits

This seal’s job is pretty straightforward – it prevents gear oil from leaking out where the driveshaft comes out of the transmission. It’s a simple rubber component, but crucial. It keeps the lubrication in and keeps dirt and moisture out. Think of it as the gatekeeper for your transmission’s lubrication. The driveshaft spins as power goes to the wheels, and the seal sits right where the shaft exits the transmission housing. It’s a point where things move and need to stay sealed. It’s part of the drivetrain, specifically in the area where power is transferred to the wheels.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this seal fails, you’ll start losing gear oil. You’ll notice if it does, usually as a dripping or oily spot under your vehicle. Losing oil quickly can cause serious damage to your transmission. It could cause grinding, difficulty shifting, or even complete transmission failure if left unaddressed. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace compared to rebuilding or replacing a whole transmission. You can find these pretty easily, even on sites like Fixparts Online, and it's a worthwhile maintenance item to tackle if you see any leaks. It acts like a shield protecting a very expensive component.
