FAQs
Does this set replace OE part 24277604965?
Yes, this VAICO 19037196B is a direct replacement for OE part number 24277604965.
What material is this seal made of?
This seal is manufactured using ACM (Polyacrylate), which is highly durable against transmission fluid and heat.
Can I use this on a manual transmission?
No, this specific part is designed exclusively for the BMW automatic transmission codes GA8HP70Z, GA8HP45Z, and GA8HP70H.
Why is there a 'swirl' direction on the seal?
The right-hand swirl pattern is designed to pump oil back into the transmission housing during operation, significantly reducing the risk of leakage.
Do I need special tools for installation?
While not strictly required, using a professional seal driver set is highly recommended to avoid damaging the rubber material during installation.
Troubleshooting
Persistent fluid leak after installation
Check if the seal was seated squarely in the housing and inspect the shaft surface for scoring or deep scratches that prevent a proper seal.
Seal is difficult to insert into the housing
Apply a light coat of transmission fluid to the outer edge of the seal and use a proper-sized seal driver tool to ensure even pressure during installation.
