Shaft seal, manual transmission

The gearbox oil seal prevents gearbox oil leaks from the transmission. The moving parts of the transmission are lubricated with oil. If the oil level is too low, friction will cause the gearbox to seize. Therefore, it's essential to prevent oil leaks from the system. The gearbox oil seal prevents this. The seal is made of synthetic rubber, allowing it to move with the rotating driveshaft. To ensure a tight seal between the ring and the shaft, there is a small spring inside. This spring pushes the inner ring against the shaft. Ensure you replace the part immediately if it becomes defective. This prevents damage to the transmission and high garage costs.

Gearbox oil seal defect

A defective gearbox oil seal can eventually cause serious damage to the transmission. The seal is subjected to high loads due to the rotating driveshaft. This can cause a defect in the seal over time. You can recognise a defective seal by a gearbox oil leak. Often you will see a puddle of oil under the car. Too little oil will also prevent the gearbox from shifting smoothly. You will notice this by a grinding noise when shifting gears. Driving with a defective gearbox oil seal is not recommended. A shortage of oil in the transmission causes the components to seize. This can lead to very high garage costs.

Replacing the gearbox oil seal

Replacing the gearbox oil seal is a technical and challenging task. If you have experience with car maintenance, you can replace this part yourself. Generally, replacing the seal itself is not very difficult, but several parts have to be disassembled. In most cases, the entire gearbox has to be removed to access the seal. This makes this job very complicated. Keep in mind that replacing this part can take an entire day.

A new gearbox oil seal is generally not very expensive. The price is mainly determined by the installation costs. Therefore, it is much cheaper to replace this part yourself.
