Seal Plate

The Winters Seal Plate (MPN 61744) is a precision-engineered input shaft seal plate designed for Falcon transmissions, delivering critical leak prevention and fluid retention in high-performance drivetrain applications. This aluminum component serves as a barrier between the transmission case and input shaft, sealing the path where fluid loss commonly occurs under load. Whether you're rebuilding a race transmission, restoring a classic hot rod, or maintaining a performance vehicle, this seal plate is essential for transmission longevity and reliability.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum, the Winters Seal Plate weighs just 0.51 pounds and measures 4.75 inches in length with a 0.75-inch cross-section, making it compact yet structurally sound for high-stress environments. The aluminum construction balances durability with minimal weight penalty—critical in performance builds where every pound matters. The seal plate's design ensures a tight fit against the input shaft, creating a reliable barrier that prevents transmission fluid from weeping past bearing surfaces and the shaft opening. Proper sealing at this junction protects internal components from contamination and maintains accurate fluid levels during acceleration, cornering, and sustained power delivery.

Falcon transmission enthusiasts, drag racing teams, and transmission shops rely on Winters components for their precision fit and proven performance heritage. This seal plate is ideal during transmission rebuilds, restorations, or preventive maintenance to address leaks at the input shaft. Installation requires removing the transmission case cover or front seal retainer, depending on your specific Falcon model and transmission generation. Mechanics should verify shaft diameter and seal cavity dimensions before ordering, as Falcon transmissions span multiple decades of production. Pairing this seal plate with quality transmission fluid and proper torque specifications ensures years of leak-free operation in street, strip, or road racing environments.
