I need a help here.

I recently order from rockauto a set of TF Output Shaft Seal but the size doesn't fit. So i had to improvise temporary. But it get loose and the oil fall down.
Im atach the picture of it so you can see if it may be diferent from the "refular" NP231 TF.

If someone can giv me a clue where to find the correct set i apreciate.

Thank you all.

Ps Happy 4th of july!!

 

Not sure what the TF means, but you should check with your Jeep dealer for part

 

TF = Trasfer Case.

:-)

Im in Brazil. Hard to find things for more them ten year old XJ.

Tks anyway!

 

Time for a slip yoke eliminator!
:P

 

Which seal did you buy?

TIMKEN Part # 710046 This one appears to be correct.

 

the parts books seem to be wrong for XJ NP231 output seals, I tell 'em I have a YJ, that gets me the correct seal

 

Here, if I had that problem I would take the old seal to a store that sells bearings, (maybe inquire at a local shop). You don't necessarily need a "Jeep", or "TC" seal. Just one that size.

This has come up before Btw.....

 

Yes. And it dont fit. this was my purchase:

TIMKEN 4370N Output Shaft Seal $ 3.61 $ 0.00 1 $ 3.61
TIMKEN 710046 Output Shaft Seal
Wholesaler Closeout -- 30 Day Warranty $ 3.62 $ 0.00 1 $ 3.62
.
Tks

 

Great. I will try it.

Thanks

 

Yeah! I Have tried this, but i just find close match, not exactly the same size.
that's what i use now. But it get loose in a few months.

Thank you anyway.

 

Hey mr White, thats a good idea. In time i ill look for it.

Witch one do you recomend??

=-)

 

Oh, just wanted to mention....shade tree stuff! The ID of you seal needs to fit the shaft of course. For the OD, I have actually used tape! Once fairly successfully on a starter bushing.

A plumbers Teflon tape is very thin, once wrapped, and pressed in, it seems pretty good...later I bought the correct bushing, but since it works fine that way, the new bushing is still on a nail, waiting.....

 

This sounds "Golden!" Prappas, please do let us know what you find!

 

Sure did.

once i get the answer i tell ya all folks.


tks
