Help keep lubricant in and grit out of your manual gearbox with the Timken Manual Transmission Input Shaft Seal, part number 482163N. It is a direct-fit replacement for many listed models, among them the 1975-1986 Ford F-150, 1975-1987 Ford F-250 and 1980-1983 Ford Mustang, all engines. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. This front seal surrounds the transmission input shaft. The seal body stays fixed in place while its lip rides on the spinning shaft.

Timken's grease/oil seal uses a precision sealing design intended to stop lubricant from escaping and to keep harmful contaminants from getting in.

  • Reinforced outer case: helps prevent damage during installation and adds durability.
  • Ribbed rubber inner diameter: designed to seal over minor surface imperfections and promote positive seating.
  • Internal contamination exclusion system: helps keep debris from getting past the lip, where it may lead to leakage.
  • Vent holes: let lubricant flow freely around the seal lip, cooling the seal components and carrying away built-up heat.

Signs this seal may need replacing include lubricant seeping from the front of the transmission or the bellhousing area, and a falling transmission fluid level. The listed applications use one seal. Confirm the source of any leak before replacing, and follow the vehicle service information for installation.
