Oil pump gasket - Mercedes 722.6

High-quality gasket (so-called "eight") for the oil pump of a 5-speed automatic transmission Mercedes-Benz 722.6 (NAG1). This specially shaped gasket ensures a tight seal between the oil pump body and the main gearbox housing. Its hardening or damage with age leads to internal pressure leaks, which can cause delayed engagement of gears, slipping and other transmission problems.

Technical specifications:

• Manufacturer: High-quality replacement (e.g. Corteco, Elring)
• Condition: New
• Transmission type: 5-speed automatic (Mercedes 722.6)
• Application: Oil pump circuit seal

• Jeep: Grand Cherokee (WJ/WK), Commander (XK)
• Chrysler/Dodge: 300C, Charger, Magnum, Challenger
• Porsche: 911 (996), Boxster (986)

Key benefits:

• Restores a key seal in the main hydraulic circuit
• Prevents pressure loss, which is the cause of many failures
• Necessary to be replaced each time the oil pump is removed during an overhaul
• Made of ageing and ATF oil-resistant material

Installation instructions:

Replacing the gasket requires disassembly of the gearbox and removal of the oil pump. The old gasket must be removed and the contact surfaces thoroughly cleaned. The new gasket should be carefully seated on the pump before it is reinstalled in the gearbox.

Summary:

The oil pump seal for the 722.6 transmission is a small but fundamental part. Its preventive replacement during every overhaul is a must to guarantee the success of the repair and prevent serious pressure problems in this legendary transmission.
