BMW Automatic Transmission Oil Pan Gasket - Genuine BMW 24117524707

Product Information

The transmission oil pan gasket is a sealing material that sits between the transmission oil pan and the transmission housing. Its primary function is to prevent transmission fluid from leaking out of the pan, which holds the fluid that lubricates and cools the internal components of the transmission. Over time, due to exposure to heat, pressure, and wear, the gasket may degrade, leading to leaks and potential transmission issues.

• Transmission Fluid Leaks: The most common sign of a failing oil pan gasket is fluid leaking from the transmission.
• Transmission Slipping or Delayed Engagement: A loss of transmission fluid due to a leaky gasket can cause the transmission to slip or have delayed engagement when shifting from one gear to another. Without enough fluid, the transmission can't generate the hydraulic pressure necessary for smooth gear changes.
• Noisy Transmission Operation: Low fluid levels caused by a leaking gasket can also result in increased friction between transmission components. This can lead to grinding or whining noises when the transmission is engaged.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.
