O Ring

About this product

The O Ring (#96721-19008), a critical component in the Gear Shift Fork & Lever Shaft system of a Toyota's Drive-Chassis, plays a significant role in ensuring optimal transmission performance. This part creates a tight seal between the shifting fork and the lever shaft, reducing friction and enabling smooth shifting of gears during manual transmission. With time, the O Ring (#96721-19008) may wear out, get clogged or even break, leading to transmission fluid leakage, increased friction, or difficult gear shifting, all of which can compromise drivability. Therefore, periodic replacement with genuine Toyota parts, backed by Toyota's genuine parts warranty, is crucial for maintaining vehicle compatibility and performance. By ensuring a tight seal and reducing friction, the O Ring (#96721-19008) contributes significantly to the system's efficiency and the overall safety of the vehicle.
