001323969 Volkswagen Seal ring

These little guys are all about preventing leaks. Specifically, they create a tight barrier where two parts of the gearbox meet – usually around shafts or housings. They keep the gear oil in and keep dirt, water, and other nasties out. It's a pretty simple job, but vital. They’re usually made of rubber or a similar flexible material, sometimes with metal reinforcements. Think of the gearbox as the heart of getting power to the wheels. The seal ring is a little guardian around those critical moving parts. It’s located inside the gearbox, so you won't see it from the outside. You’ll find them around things like the input and output shafts, and often where the gearbox halves join together. It’s a small piece, but it’s part of a bigger system, making sure everything runs smoothly and stays lubricated. Without a good seal ring, your gearbox oil will start to leak out. That's a problem because that oil is what keeps everything lubricated and cool. If the oil level gets too low, things start grinding, wearing out quickly, and can even lead to complete gearbox failure, which is a costly repair. You’ll notice if you start seeing oil puddles under your vehicle, or if your gearbox starts making unusual noises. Replacing a worn seal ring is a relatively inexpensive fix compared to a full gearbox rebuild. You can often find them online, places like Fixparts Online have a good selection, and it’s a pretty straightforward job for a mechanic. Ignoring a leaking seal is just asking for trouble down the road. Simple and reliable: Seal Ring (MPN 001323969) has a 12-month warranty!
