Help keep transmission lubricant where it belongs with the SKF Automatic / Manual Transmission Output Shaft Seal 13005. It is a replacement seal for the 1986-2012 Nissan Maxima, 1993-2002 Mercury Villager, 1993-2013 Nissan Altima, 1996-2001 Infiniti I30, 2002-2006 Nissan Sentra and other Nissan models. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full vehicle list and engine details. It is cataloged for both the right and left positions.
This seal is listed under two names: automatic transmission output shaft seal and manual transmission output shaft seal. The seal body stays stationary in the housing while its sealing lip rides against the rotating output shaft. This holds lubricant in and keeps contaminants out.
- Rigid metal case: The body is made from deep drawn sheet steel, giving a rigid, stress-resistant case.
- Garter spring: Made from cold drawn steel wire for fluid retention.
- Correct fit: Uses a tested design and materials for correct fit.
- Contaminant protection: Designed to protect against dirt and water.
SKF invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928. Since then it has kept developing new seal designs and bonding techniques. Each seal is built to a specific design using premium materials chosen for the application and its environment.
Signs this seal may need replacing include fluid seeping around the output shaft, drips beneath the transmission, or a dropping fluid level. Diagnose the source of the leak before replacing the seal.
