The issue is the gear selector diameter and the BMW tool which fits on the shaft is very very tight and won,t slide on. As I didn't,t want to force anything and needed the car for the next day I put it back the way it was. My current thinking of the issue of the where the selector rod is exposed to the road elements it has somehow pick up dirt/whatever....maybe a good clean of the exposed shaft will help. Anyway will have another go this weekend. This time with the front drive shaft removed so can get a view of why it won't slide on. Will also do in the morning when the shaft has not warmed up from use during the day. Will update when done with pic |

I would also like to replace this seal on my 3.0i 2006 AT...but I'm having a hard time already finding the seal.
The part looks greyed out on real oem #2... what's that supposed to mean? No longer available? Any help would be appreciated |

Fairly certain you want this:
TIMKEN 8792S {Click Info Button for Alternate/OEM Part Numbers} Info Automatic trans.; 5 speed trans.; Trans. code 5L40-E More Information for TIMKEN 8792S EDIT: Timken seal will fit, but is shallow, the better options are: GM/AC Delco 8644709 or Transmax 84072A

I really wouldn't like to mess up the old one by taking it out, to discover the new one isn't fitting... Why isn't BMW selling this seal? Makes no sense to me... |

BMW business model is to sell cars, not parts. Make plenty of sense to me...

I personally think they are making more profit on replacement parts and service then on a new car...

Thanks to both! I just ordered the part from a transmission overhaul company here in Europe. In fact on the invoice that arrived, it states seal for 5L40E transmission... so the information you provided was correct.
Will post something back as soon as I've got it installed, looking already forward to freaking out while taking the old one out. |
