Seal the transmission lubricant in and keep road grime out with the Timken Manual Transmission Output Shaft Seal 1215N. It fits at the rear output of the manual transmission, where the output shaft exits toward the driveshaft, and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of classic Mazda models — including the 1971 616, 1972 618, 1979-1982 626, and the 1979-1991 and 1993-1995 RX-7.
Inspect the output shaft and mating surfaces during installation. Additional Mazda applications include the 808, B1600, B1800, B2000, B2200, COSMO, GLC, MIZER, ROTARY PICKUP, RX-2, RX-3, and RX-4 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of years and models.
Interchange: 13931 · Manufacturer part number 1215N.
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Where does this seal install?
It installs at the rear output of the manual transmission, where the output shaft exits toward the driveshaft.
What does the output shaft seal do?
Its stationary body seats in the housing while the lip rides against the rotating output shaft, helping retain transmission lubricant and keep out dirt and moisture.
Does the seal spin with the shaft?
No. The seal body stays stationary in the housing; only its sealing lip contacts the rotating output shaft.
How do I know if this seal is failing?
Look for lubricant weeping or dripping at the rear of the transmission case. If a worn output shaft seal is the cause, replacing it with the 1215N addresses the leak.
Which vehicles does the 1215N fit?
It fits many classic Mazda models such as the 616, 618, 626, RX-2, RX-3, RX-4, RX-7, and several B-series pickups. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of years and models.
