This 10-phase procedure uses the ATC 62820 installer to seat front input seals squarely and to correct depth on Mack 12-speed transmissions—prevents distortion, leaks, and premature failure.
Introduction: Precise Front Seal Installation for Mack Transmissions
The ATC 62820 ensures even pressure and proper depth—essential for long seal life and preventing oil loss into clutch or gears.
Phase 1-3: Preparation & Housing Inspection
- Secure transmission – Bench or stand fixture
- Remove old seal & clean bore – Thoroughly degrease & inspect
- Check input shaft & housing – Look for scoring; polish if needed
Phase 4-6: Seal & Tool Setup

- Position seal squarely in housing – Start by hand alignment
- Place ATC 62820 installer on seal – Full OD contact
Phase 7-10: Pressing & Verification
CRITICAL: ATC 62820 Installation Keys
- Apply controlled press force – Until seated to spec depth
- Verify seal flush & square – Check alignment & depth
- Reassemble input components – Torque to Mack specs
- Fill transmission & leak test – Run & inspect for seepage
