Product Description
The AUTOMEGA Shaft Seal, manual transmission (190016610) is an original-equipment-quality radial oil seal manufactured by AUTOMEGA. Positioned directly over the external shifting link entry point on the transmission casing housing, its primary function is to seal the selector shaft (gearshift finger). This prevents high-viscosity gear oil from escaping out of the transmission casing during active gear selection, ensuring the manual transmission internals remain fully submersed in fluid while keeping the undercarriage of the vehicle clean and free from environmental oil contamination.

Vehicle Compatibility
This precision-molded dynamic shaft seal is custom-dimensioned to seal the manual gear selector rods used heavily across classic Volkswagen Group (VAG) passenger cars built from the late 1970s through the mid-2000s:
| Car Model | Compatible Transmission Types | Engine Displacements | Year of Manufacture |
|---|---|---|---|
| VW Golf II (19E, 1G1) / Jetta II (19E) | 4-Speed & 5-Speed Manual Gearboxes (020 mechanical rod-linkage transmission families) |
1.3 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 1.8 GTI / 1.6 D / 1.6 TD | 1983 - 1992 |
| VW Golf I (17) / Jetta I (16) / Convertible (155) / Scirocco | 020 Type Manual Transmissions | 1.5 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 1.6 D | 1976 - 1993 |
| VW Golf III (1H1) / Vento (1H2) / Variant | 020 Rod-Shift Manual Transmissions | 1.4 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 2.0 / 1.9 D / 1.9 TD | 1991 - 1998 |
| VW Polo II & III (86C, 6N1, 6N2) | Compact 4 & 5-speed manual platforms | 1.0 / 1.3 / 1.4 / 1.6 / 1.4 TDI | 1981 - 2001 |
| SEAT Toledo I (1L) / Ibiza II (6K1) / Cordoba | 020 Manual gearbox layouts | 1.6 i / 1.8 i / 2.0 i / 1.9 D / 1.9 TD | 1991 - 1999 |
⚠️ Technical Selector Seal Notice: The selector shaft seal is notoriously prone to weeping and leaking on the classic VAG 020 type transmission series because it sits low on the gear linkage network where oil rests. This seal fits **15mm diameter selector rods**. It will NOT fit heavier hydraulic cable-shifted transmissions (such as the 02A or 02J gearboxes found in Golf VR6 or Corrado models). When performing this replacement, always inspect the selector rod itself for surface pitting or rust, as rough metal will rapidly shred a brand-new rubber lip seal.
