Stop constant rear main seal leaks caused by worn or grooved crankshaft surfaces. This precision-engineered repair sleeve creates a new sealing surface without expensive crankshaft replacement or machining – the permanent fix for 1KD-FTV rear main seal problems.
A rear main seal repair sleeve is a thin stainless steel collar that installs over the worn area of the crankshaft. It provides a fresh, smooth sealing surface for the rear main seal to ride on – solving the root cause of persistent leaks.
The Problem: Over time, the crankshaft surface where the rear main seal rides can wear into a groove. Even a new seal will leak because it can't seal against the damaged surface.
The Solution: The repair sleeve covers the worn groove and provides a new, smooth sealing surface. Much cheaper than crankshaft replacement or machine work, and just as effective.
💡 Pro Tip: If you've replaced the rear main seal and it's still leaking, the crankshaft surface is likely worn. A repair sleeve is the permanent solution.
Suits all 1KD-FTV 3.0L engines (Euro 3 and Euro 4).
We have Genuine Rear Main Seal kits available separately (recommended to install new seal with sleeve).
⚠️ Professional Installation Required: This repair requires transmission removal, flywheel removal, and precise sleeve installation. Not a DIY job unless you have proper tools and experience. Additional tools may be required.

Much cheaper. A new crankshaft costs thousands of dollars plus extensive labor for complete engine disassembly. The repair sleeve costs a fraction of that and requires only transmission/flywheel removal.
