FAQs

What are the dimensions of this seal?

This seal has an inner diameter of 140 mm, an outer diameter of 155 mm, and a height of 18 mm.

Can I use this on any vehicle?

No, this part is specifically designed for BMW and Mercedes-Benz manual transmissions using the listed OEM references.

Does the swirl direction matter?

Yes, this is a left-hand twist swirl seal. It must be installed according to the original orientation to function properly.

Do I need special tools to install this?

It is highly recommended to use a seal driver tool of the appropriate diameter to ensure even pressure during installation.

Should I apply grease to the seal lip?

A light coating of clean transmission fluid on the inner lip is recommended to aid installation and ensure proper initial lubrication.

Troubleshooting

Seal is difficult to press into housing

Ensure the seal is perfectly square to the bore and lubricate the outer edge with a small amount of clean transmission fluid.

New seal continues to leak after installation

Verify that the shaft surface does not have any grooves or damage; if the metal shaft is worn, a new seal may not be able to create a proper contact patch.
