Selector shaft seal

[Burgundy E53]

I need help finding the correct selector shaft seal and the special tool.

I have a 2002 3.0i. I found the tool but there seems to be two versions. And the seal I ordered doesn't seem to be the right one.

I only found on post here but is not updated.


I'm also looking for the tool to do the rear subframe bushings.


Thank you.

Manual or automatic?

Bimmertoolrentals has the rear subframe tool.

Sorry for that.
It's an automatic

The generic seal number is 84072A

Tool is BMW p/n 83300491781. It contains parts to do 2 sizes of seals, I believe the ZX trans for the V-8's(smaller seal) and the GM trans for the inline 6's. It works well but requires some patience to use, especially the first time.
