This clutch shaft seal is an original AGCO component that prevents lubricant leakage from the transmission housing where the clutch input shaft passes through the bell housing. It sits at the interface between the rotating shaft and the stationary housing, maintaining a sealed barrier that keeps oil inside the drive system and contaminants out. A worn seal allows oil to weep onto the clutch friction surfaces, which can cause clutch slip and gradual loss of transmission fluid. The seal is molded to match the original housing bore and shaft contact area, so no adapter or shim is needed during replacement. On installation, ensure the seal lip faces the oil side and that the shaft surface is free of burrs or scoring.
