Corteco 16012080B Manual Transmission Shaft Seal

Description

This Corteco shaft seal is designed for manual transmissions, ensuring a leak-proof barrier between rotating and stationary components. It is commonly used within the gearbox to prevent the escape of transmission fluid and contamination from external elements. With dimensions of 12 x 54 x 54 mm and manufactured in Indonesia, this seal provides reliable performance and durability. The precision engineering of this component minimizes friction and wear, contributing to extended transmission life and efficient operation.

Key Features & Benefits

This seal’s job is pretty simple, actually. It keeps the transmission oil in and keeps dirt and debris out. It’s a ring, usually made of rubber, that fits around the transmission input or output shaft where it exits the transmission housing. It basically seals the gap. Think of it like this – your transmission needs oil to work smoothly, right? This seal prevents that oil from leaking out while the shaft is spinning. Without it, you’d quickly lose fluid, and that leads to bigger problems. It’s a crucial part of the drivetrain, helping to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. It’s not something that makes the car go, but it allows all the parts that do go to keep going.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this seal fails, you’ll notice if you start seeing oil leaks around the transmission. That’s the first sign. Losing transmission fluid can cause all sorts of issues – difficulty shifting, grinding noises, and eventually, complete transmission failure. Ignoring a leak can turn a cheap fix—you can find these seals at places like Fixparts Online—into a major, expensive repair. It acts like a shield, protecting your transmission’s internals. It’s a small part, but failing to maintain it can lead to a big headache down the road.
