Chevrolet Cruze with 6T40: which drive-seal part numbers are verified?
There is also a year boundary: the current verified records for these two seals carry a 2006–2013 catalog range. The transmission and seal evidence therefore overlap directly for the Cruze 1.4 in 2011–2013. E103 still identifies 2014–2015 Cruze 1.4 LUJ/LUV automatics as 6T40/MH8, but this page does not extend the seal records beyond their current supported range.
Confirm the transmission before the seal number
For Cruze 1.4L LUJ/LUV, E103 establishes 2011–2015 → 6T40 / MH8. It does not establish a rule for every Cruze and must not be generalized to the 1.8L engine. The full vehicle-to-transmission argument belongs to Chevrolet Cruze 1.4: which transmission is fitted?.
Which numbers are in the verified 6T40/6T45 record?
| OE | Function in the verified table | Side supported by professional catalogs | Evidence boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24230682 | 6T40/6T45 drive/output-shaft seal | RH / right | no direct public GM side assignment located |
| 24230715 | 6T40/6T45 drive/output-shaft seal | LH / left | no direct public GM side assignment located |
E631 adds an important qualification for 2011 Cruze Hatchback (MH7/MH8/MH9). In a readable EPC row, 24257030 appears as SEAL FRT WHL DRV SHF OIL (OPTIONAL W/24230715)(TO CASE), so that specific application shows 24257030 and 24230715 as parallel optional numbers at the same position rather than one unique number. OPTIONAL W/ does not establish global interchangeability or a supersession direction, and (TO CASE) does not establish LH. OEProof has not added 24257030 to the general fitment table, so it is cited here only within E631's application boundary.
How we describe RH/LH and the source conflict
Multiple professional catalogs support 24230682 = RH and 24230715 = LH, while no direct public GM side-assignment document was located; E306 also preserves at least one marketplace side-label conflict. The full side-evidence argument belongs to 24230682 vs 24230715: which OE is right and which is left?, so this page does not re-prove it.
What about 2014–2015 Cruze applications?
E103 extends the Cruze 1.4 LUJ/LUV 6T40/MH8 identification through 2015, while the current 24230682/24230715 fitment records are bounded to a 2006–2013 catalog interval. That difference must remain visible: 2014–2015 cannot be filled by analogy simply because the transmission is still identified as 6T40.
A part-level VIN/RPO/EPC check or another source that covers the exact year and part is required. Transmission identification is not automatic proof of every component fitment for every model year.
How to verify a specific Cruze before an order
- Confirm that E103 actually applies: Cruze 1.4L LUJ/LUV.
- Confirm 6T40 / MH8 using vehicle-specific data; see the RPO/VIN identification guide.
- Keep the seal record's current 2013 upper boundary visible unless a separate source closes a later year.
- Determine the required vehicle side and verify the exact OE.
- Russian ordering terminology can also be ambiguous; see the dedicated
сальник приводаvsсальник полуосиguide. - If the vehicle is outside the proven scope, stop for additional verification rather than extending the result by analogy.
What this article does not claim
- It does not claim that every Chevrolet Cruze uses 6T40.
- It does not apply E103 to the 1.8L engine.
- It does not claim that GM publicly assigned 24230682 = RH and 24230715 = LH.
- It does not call 24257030 LH or infer side from
(TO CASE). - It does not turn
OPTIONAL W/24230715into global interchangeability or a supersession direction. - It does not publish seal dimensions.
- It does not extend the current 24230682/24230715 record beyond the 2006–2013 catalog interval.
FAQ
- Which drive-seal numbers are listed for Chevrolet Cruze 6T40?
- OEProof's current 6T40/6T45 fitment record contains 24230682 and 24230715. For 2011 Cruze Hatchback, E631 additionally shows 24257030 as
OPTIONAL W/24230715at one EPC position, but 24257030 has not been added to the general fitment table and is not presented as a universal third number. - Does this apply to Cruze 1.8?
- No such conclusion is supported here. E103 is scoped to Cruze 1.4L LUJ/LUV.
- Can these numbers be carried into 2014–2015 Cruze 1.4?
- Not automatically. E103 confirms 6T40/MH8 through 2015, but the current 24230682/24230715 seal records stop at the 2006–2013 catalog interval. Later years require a separate part-level check.
- Does GM directly confirm 24230682 as right and 24230715 as left?
- That wording is too strong. Multiple professional transmission catalogs support 24230682 = RH and 24230715 = LH, but no direct public GM side-assignment document was located in the current evidence set.
