Shaft Repair Sleeve for 1999-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 & More - SKF 480050

The SKF 480050 auto trans shift shaft repair sleeve kit for the 1999-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and other vehicles puts a new sealing surface over a worn shift shaft, so the seal no longer rides on the worn spot.

• Part of the SKF Speedi-Sleeve line of shaft repair sleeves
• Refinishes a worn shaft fast with a thin-walled sleeve that fits over it
• Needs no change in seal size
• Avoids time-consuming shaft regrinding, which can leave a poor-quality sealing surface
• Designed to give an ideal outer sealing surface on every install
• Made from AISI 304 stainless steel

Over time a seal lip can wear a groove into the shaft it rides on. Fluid seeping past the shift shaft seal, or a leak that returns soon after a seal change, can mean the shaft surface is worn. Before you replace the seal and fit a sleeve, rule out a loose housing bolt or a leaking gasket nearby as the source of the fluid. Each vehicle takes one sleeve, fitted on the shift shaft.

Vehicles it fits as a direct-fit replacement include the 1999-2013 GMC Sierra 1500 and the 1995-2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. If your vehicle is not named here, open the "Vehicles it fits" section and check your exact model and engine.
