SKF 15966 rear auto trans output shaft seal for the 1995-2010 Ford Explorer and other vehicles keeps lubricants in and contaminants out at the transmission output shaft.
- SKF invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928 and has kept developing seal designs and bonding techniques since.
- Tested design and materials for correct fit
- Protects against dirt and water
- Body of deep drawn sheet steel, which makes a rigid, stress resistant metal case
- Garter spring of cold drawn steel wire for fluid retention
Fluid seepage or a damp, oily film around the back of the transmission can mean this seal is worn. Before you replace it, rule out a leak coming from a nearby gasket or fitting, because fluid can run along the case and look like it started here. Each vehicle takes one.
This seal fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury models, including the 1994-2003 Ford F-150 and the 1996-2004 Ford Mustang. If your car is not named here, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
