Product Description
The JP GROUP Shaft Seal, speedometer drive (1170650800) is an original-equipment-quality drivetrain sealing component manufactured by JP GROUP. Positioned on the transmission casing at the speedometer cable insertion point, its primary function is to seal the rotating mechanical speedometer driven gear shaft. This prevents high-viscosity gearbox oil from seeping out of the transmission housing and migrating up into the mechanical speedometer cable sleeve, keeping your engine bay clean and protecting cabin instruments from fluid fouling.

⚠️ Technical Transmission Warning: This seal is configured exclusively for classic mechanical cable-driven speedometer linkages fitting into traditional VAG gearboxes (like the highly common 020 gearbox series). It will NOT fit modern electronic speed sensor units (G22 pulse senders) used on newer digital dashboards, nor will it seal heavy-duty automatic transmissions. Always verify your specific gearbox casing type and dimensions (8.7x15x5 mm) prior to installation.
