Corteco 01035170B Transfer Case Shaft Seal

Description

This Corteco shaft seal is designed for transfer cases, preventing leaks and maintaining proper lubrication within the drivetrain. It's used to seal the rotating shaft where it exits the transfer case housing. This seal ensures reliable performance and extends the life of the transfer case components. Manufactured in Hungary, this seal has dimensions of 13 x 72 x 72 mm and carries MPN 01035170B. Its robust construction contributes to enhanced durability and consistent sealing capabilities.

Key Features & Benefits

This seal’s job is pretty straightforward – it keeps the fluid in the transfer case, and keeps dirt and water out. It’s a simple rubber component, usually, that sits around the shaft where it exits the transfer case. It essentially creates a barrier. Think of your transfer case as the thing that splits power to the front and rear wheels when you’re in four – wheel drive, or just sends it to the rear in two – wheel drive. That case is full of fluid, like an engine or transmission. The shafts are what physically transfer the power. The seal sits right where the shaft spins, preventing that fluid from leaking out while letting the shaft do its work. It's a small part, but it’s right in the middle of a pretty critical system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this seal starts to fail, you’ll start losing fluid. That fluid is what lubricates all the gears inside the transfer case. If you run it low, those gears start grinding on each other, and that's a quick way to very expensive damage. You’ll notice if it's leaking, usually a reddish – colored fluid dripping, and sometimes you'll also get some noise coming from the transfer case. It acts like a shield for all those expensive gears inside. If you catch a leak early, replacing this seal is a relatively inexpensive fix. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and getting a new one installed before things get bad can save you a lot of headache down the road.
