Volvo Automatic Transmission Oil Pan Gasket - Genuine Volvo 1239683

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 Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo 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 Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
