Speedo Gear Shaft Seal LandCruiser 40 60 70 75 78 79 80 Series Hilux

Speedometer drive gear shaft seal to suit Toyota LandCruiser and Hilux models.

Prevents oil leaks from the speedo drive housing on gearbox or transfer case.

 

This seal is fitted to the speedometer drive gear housing, where the speedo cable or sender enters the gearbox or transfer case.

 

Its job is to:

 

• Seal around the speedo gear shaft
• Prevent gearbox or transfer oil from leaking
• Keep dirt and contaminants out

 

 

These seals sit in the speedo drive housing and are exposed to oil and heat over time.

 

 

 

 

What it actually does

 

 

• Stops oil leaking from the speedo drive
• Maintains correct oil level in gearbox/transfer
• Prevents contamination entering the housing

 

 

A worn seal is a common cause of:

 

• Oil weeping down the side of gearbox
• Wet speedo cable area
• Slow oil loss over time

 

 

Speedo drive seals are a known service item on older Toyota drivetrains and are used across multiple LandCruiser and Hilux models.

Where is this located?

On the gearbox or transfer case where the speedo cable or sensor connects.

 

Is this a common leak point?

Yes — very common on older LandCruisers.
