Description

Its durable construction minimizes wear and tear, offering long-lasting sealing capabilities.

Key Features & Benefits

This seal’s job is pretty straightforward – it keeps the transmission fluid in and keeps dirt and moisture out. It’s a simple rubber component, usually, but absolutely vital. It creates a tight barrier where the transmission output shaft comes out of the transmission case. Think of it as part of the system that gets power from the transmission down to the wheels. The shaft spins, and this seal is right where the shaft exits the transmission. Without it, transmission fluid would leak out, and potentially contaminants could get in and really mess things up. It’s located on the output shaft, that's the one actually turning and sending power to your drive wheels.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, losing transmission fluid is a big deal. It can lead to slipping gears, rough shifting, and eventually, complete transmission failure. You’ll notice if you start seeing reddish – colored fluid leaking under your vehicle, especially after it’s been parked for a while. That's a telltale sign. It acts like a shield, protecting a pretty expensive component. Replacing this seal is much cheaper than replacing or rebuilding a whole transmission. You can often find a good quality one at places like Fixparts Online, and honestly, it's a repair a reasonably handy person can tackle themselves. Don’t run too long if you suspect a leak, because that fluid is essential for keeping everything running smoothly and preventing major damage.
