Corteco 20034298B Intermediate Shaft Seal

Description

The Corteco 20034298B is an intermediate shaft seal used within the drivetrain, specifically in gearbox applications. It prevents leakage of fluids, such as transmission oil, and protects internal components from contamination. This seal ensures reliable gearbox operation and extends the lifespan of associated drivetrain parts. It measures 12 x 54 x 54 mm and is manufactured in France.

Key Features & Benefits

This seal’s job is pretty straightforward—it prevents gear oil from leaking out of the gearbox where the intermediate shaft spins. It’s a simple rubber component, really, but it’s designed to withstand a lot of heat and constant rotation. It keeps the oil in and keeps dirt and debris out. Think of your gearbox as the heart of getting power to the wheels. That intermediate shaft is a key part of that system, helping transfer that power. The seal sits right where the shaft comes out of the gearbox casing. It’s not something you directly see working, it’s tucked away inside, but it’s essential for everything running smoothly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if that seal fails, you’ll start losing gear oil. That’s bad because the gearbox needs that oil to lubricate all the moving parts. Losing oil quickly leads to damage, grinding noises, and eventually, a very expensive repair or complete gearbox failure. You’ll notice if it’s leaking, usually as a reddish – brown slick underneath your vehicle, or you might smell burning oil. It acts like a shield protecting the gearbox internals from contamination too. Ignoring a leak can cause significant problems down the line. We carry a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and they’re generally a pretty manageable repair if you’re comfortable working on vehicles.
