Plug Shift Shaft

The Winters Transmission Shift Shaft Plug (Part No. 68052) is a precision-engineered component designed for manual transmission assembly and repair. This shift shaft plug serves as a critical sealing element within Winters transmission housings, preventing fluid leakage and maintaining internal pressure integrity during operation. The 0.625-inch outside diameter and 0.171-inch thickness are engineered to deliver a secure, repeatable fit within OEM transmission specifications.

Manufactured from steel and finished with zinc oxide coating, this plug delivers corrosion resistance essential for long-term durability in harsh underhood environments. The zinc oxide treatment protects against salt spray, moisture, and thermal cycling that transmission fluid and ambient exposure create over thousands of miles. The compact 0.5-inch length ensures proper seating without interference with adjacent transmission components, maintaining clearances critical to smooth gear engagement and shift quality.

This component is essential for transmission rebuilders, off-road enthusiasts, and performance mechanics performing manual transmission restoration or repair on vehicles equipped with Winters performance transmissions. Whether addressing leaks from worn or damaged original plugs, replacing components damaged during a rebuild, or upgrading to fresh OEM-spec hardware, the SKU WIN68052 offers verified fit and material quality. Mechanics and transmission shops rely on genuine Winters replacement parts to ensure transmission longevity and leak-free operation after service intervals.

Sold as a single unit, this shift shaft plug is a wear item and spare component that should be stocked by any serious transmission technician or performance builder working with Winters transmission systems in competition, street-performance, or restoration applications.
