Corteco 12015554B Manual Transmission Shaft Seal

Description

This Corteco shaft seal is designed for manual transmissions, providing a critical barrier against fluid leaks and contamination. It's typically used within the gearbox to maintain optimal lubrication and prevent damage to internal components. This seal, with MPN 12015554B, is 60 x 60 x 82 mm and manufactured in Taiwan. By maintaining a tight seal, this part ensures reliable transmission performance and extends the lifespan of the drivetrain by preventing fluid loss and protecting against the ingress of dirt and debris.

Key Features & Benefits

This seal’s job is pretty straightforward – it keeps the transmission fluid in and keeps dirt and debris out. It sits right where the transmission output shaft goes through the transmission housing. It’s a simple rubber component, but it’s crucial. It essentially creates a barrier, preventing leaks and protecting the internal gears from contamination. Think of it as part of the system that gets power from the engine to the wheels. The transmission, of course, is key to that, and this seal is one of those often – overlooked parts that keeps everything running smoothly inside the transmission itself. It seals the connection point where the driveshaft connects to the transmission, so power can get transferred without fluid leaking everywhere.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this seal goes bad, you’ll definitely notice. You’ll likely start seeing transmission fluid leaking, which is obviously a problem. Even a small leak can lead to bigger issues down the road. Low fluid levels can cause damage to the gears inside the transmission, leading to expensive repairs. Plus, getting dirt into the transmission is a nightmare. It acts like a shield against that. You’ll notice if it’s failing because you'll spot a reddish – brown fluid leaking, or you might hear some unusual noises coming from the transmission. It’s one of those preventative maintenance things – cheaper to replace the seal than to rebuild the whole transmission. You can find a replacement for most makes and models at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s generally a fairly straightforward repair for someone comfortable working on cars.
