Pontiac Firebird Transfer Case Seal

Lubrication is kept in the transfer case by the Pontiac Firebird Transfer Case Seal. This allows the various gears to work without overheating or grinding. The Transfer Case Seal is located around the output shaft. It is a tight lip that prevents fluid from leaking past the driveshaft yoke. It helps maintain the correct fluid level relied upon by the transmission and transfer gears for cooling, hydraulic pressure, and lubrication. When this little thing gets old or cut, low fluid follows, resulting in heat buildup, gear wear, and poor shift quality. Because of this, every Pontiac enthusiast who sees an oily driveway under a Firebird should act quickly. To replace the Transfer Case Seal, lift the vehicle and uncouple the driveshaft. Pry the worn ring out of the housing and clean off the old adhesive. Finally, press a new seal, smeared with grease, into place and refit the shaft to its original marks. A worn output shaft bushing or grooves on the yoke can cause misalignment of the shaft. Consequently, on its own, installing a new Transfer Case Seal may not fix a difficult leak, and the bushing or yoke must therefore be renewed at the same time. This functional lip style Transfer Case Seal has been fundamentally the same across generations of Pontiac Firebird models, with differences generally linked to shaft diameter rather than design.

Each OEM Pontiac Firebird Transfer Case Seal we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
