020 498 085G -Final Drive Seal Kit /Priced Each

Description

The 020 498 085G Final Drive Seal Kit supports service and repair work on compatible 020-series manual transmissions. It provides the seals and retaining components needed to reseal the differential drive flanges.

Drive flange seals can harden after repeated heat cycles and prolonged exposure to gear oil. Worn seals may allow gearbox oil to escape from the transmission casing. This Febi Bilstein kit helps restore proper sealing at the final-drive flange and supports correct gearbox oil levels.

Why the 020 498 085G Final Drive Seal Kit Matters

The 020 498 085G Final Drive Seal Kit helps protect the differential and transmission gears from damage caused by low gear oil. Manual transmissions depend on the correct gear-oil level for lubrication and heat control.

A slow leak at the drive flange reduces available oil over time. Low oil levels increase friction and operating temperature. They can also accelerate wear on internal gears and bearings.

Use this kit during CV axle service or a gearbox rebuild. The replacement components help the flange seal tightly and limit the entry of road debris and moisture.

Service Notes

Always verify fitment by VIN before ordering. Remove the drive flange carefully before installing the new sealing components. Use the correct flange removal tool to protect the differential housing.

Inspect the flange shaft before fitting the seal. Replace or repair flanges with deep scoring, corrosion, or damaged sealing surfaces. These defects can cause continued oil seepage.

Lubricate the new seal lip lightly with clean gear oil before installation. Press the seal evenly into place with a suitable seal driver. Replace the gearbox oil during this service to maintain proper lubrication and help protect internal transmission components.
